I've been using DSLRs for the past 10 year and while I knopw that adapters have firmware updates, it never occurred to me that lenses do too! Thanks for this!
Thanks Joseph.. this was an excellent presentation and I am now subscribed to your channel. The pace of you discussion is great as many, like the Jared - 'I Shoot Raw' man talks way too fast. One small thing on the Menu searches, if you know an item is at the bottom of a list just use the up arrow will take you to the end item. I have just updated my FTZ & 24-70 S and I was unaware that my lenses could be done until I watch your video.. Cheers from South New Zealand
Thank you for making this video. Very useful indeed. After I update the FTZ MA, do I need to erase the file or format the disc before using it for update of other lens?
Thanks for your video. Unfortanly I can't update my FTZ II on my Nikon ZF. When I have the adapter attached the version that I've in camera it's the 1.00 and when I try to update I don't have the option to update, only the option to delete the update file. Can you help me? thanks
I'm using the Z series and when I connect with the flash or trigger the live view mode does not show the real exposure this make a bit difficult for the shooting. In other company like fuji/ sony there is an option for this feature. Does nikon has this option menu please help?
When I added the firmware to my XQD card, the update option did not appear. MA is still blank. Mind you the MAFTZ0110.bin is still zipped. When I try to unzip so as to add to my card, my Mac says It cannot expand for it is an unsupported format. All my gear is brand new. Can you help?
Hello Samantha - it sounds like you do not have the correct firmware. The firmware does not come zipped. For Mac it is a DMG. Open that on your Mac first then move the extracted file to your card.
Not all Z cameras can be updated via Snapbridge but the newer ones can. Z 6 II, Z 7 II, and later. But no, no lens updates are possible via Snapbridge.
I followed your step-by-step instruction the camera showed update has been done but turned on the camera it showed the same message the FTZ mount adapter firmware version is not supported Upgrade FTZ firmware, please help me how to fix this problem?
I'm trying to update the ftz firmware and i don't see any current firmware info. It's showing MA ---.--- COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP??? I can't even select the MA tab
@@dariushallums6321 dude, if you figured out and took the time to reply, explain how you figured it out, I've done all the steps and I still don't get to update it and I can't figure out why
Hello, when I load the file to my card, the file is not recognized in the camera and it does not give me the option to update, can you help me. Thank you
I have a similar isssue on my Z6II, I just updated the firmware to 1.50 and needed to update my ftzii adapter from 1.00 to 1.10 . But when added it does not let me update my ftz firmware
When I am downloading from my SD card to my camera I cannot see the latest version firmware. My camera does not let me click to add the latest firmware version, why!! HELP!!!
Caution! I recently downloaded firmware for the Zfc from Nikon. when I hit the upload, the camera shut itself down and would not restart. Nikon support told me it would have to be sent to a service center. I mailed it, at my expanse. After a week, I got an estimate for repair. Almost $ 300.00. This camera was just over one year old, purchased directly from Nikon and had less than 1,000 actuations. The camera worked perfectly until I tried to upload the firmware. Note - I own over two dozen Nikon cameras including four Z series and I am very familiar with the update procedure. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello and thank you for saying hi. I'm glad the video helped you out and thanks for the tip :-)
U saved my life I was trying since morning but i couldn’t manage to extract that folder . Helped me a lot Stay blessed
Glad I could help and really glad I saved your life!
Thank you for making this video. Very useful indeed. After I update the FTZ MA, do I need to erase the file or format the disc before using it for update of other lens?
You don't have to but there is no need to keep old firmware on your card. Feel free to erase the firmware files.
thanks for the tip of opening in a new folder
You're welcome!
Any idea when FTZ II will get an update?
Thanks for the info! I am updating firmware now.
I'm glad this information helped you
Hello Joseph, thanks for the video.
Do you think it is the same process for other lenses than the Z ones ?
Looks like it is time to upgrade the firmware on my Z5 😎
Do I need a card reader device when there is a card reader on my computer?
Thanks for your video. Unfortanly I can't update my FTZ II on my Nikon ZF. When I have the adapter attached the version that I've in camera it's the 1.00 and when I try to update I don't have the option to update, only the option to delete the update file. Can you help me? thanks
Captain Kirk piece and the tricorder are awesome. Now I feel I can trust you..
Live Long and Propser
Thank you sir!!!! I was pulling what little hair I have left.
Well we don't want that!!
If your lens and body need updating, can you put both firmware on the card at the same time? Or do you need to do them one at a time?
Never tried more than one at a time. I'm not sure I'd risk it. If you do, let us know if you were successful.
@@ShutterSpeak I had both updates in the card and the camera asked if I wanted to update the camera or the lens. I had to pick one.
@@hotrod4x5 Great - thanks for letting us know!

Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Excellent video
Thank you :-)
Thank you, that worked a treat.
Does the ftz have to have a Len's attached.
Great question. No lens should be attached. Just the FTZ adapter.
Hi, I follow all the steps, but there is no option to update firmare, only delete firmware update files
Thanks for the video 👌
No problem 👍
Try to update FTZ adapter on my Z6ii, will not update! Is it because it was updated on my traded Old Z6, if so do you know a way to update?
If it has the current firmware you are good to go. It doesn't matter what camera you used to update it.
Do we have to attach our ftz adapter?
To do the update, yes.
When I added the firmware to my XQD card, the update option did not appear. MA is still blank. Mind you the MAFTZ0110.bin is still zipped. When I try to unzip so as to add to my card, my Mac says It cannot expand for it is an unsupported format. All my gear is brand new. Can you help?

So Z cameras can be updated through SnapBridge but Z lenses can not?
Not all Z cameras can be updated via Snapbridge but the newer ones can. Z 6 II, Z 7 II, and later. But no, no lens updates are possible via Snapbridge.
@@ShutterSpeak Thanks. I checked the firmware for my Z6ii and 50 1.8s. They are both current.
@@vmanvideos Glad to hear it! :-)
Good stuff, thank you!
Thanks for watching :-)
Hi, I bough a Nikon Z50 and a ftz II adapter, but I have a problem with the Nikkor 50mm 1.8G: "cannot shoot because unsupported lens is attached"
You will need to manual focus. Just curious but is it the AF-S lens? If it is, it *should* work...
I followed your step-by-step instruction the camera showed update has been done but turned on the camera it showed the same message the FTZ mount adapter firmware version is not supported Upgrade FTZ firmware, please help me how to fix this problem?
Did u solwe the problem? I have the same..
I'm trying to update the ftz firmware and i don't see any current firmware info. It's showing MA ---.--- COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP??? I can't even select the MA tab
Is the mount adapter attached to the camera?
@@ShutterSpeak thank you I figured it out

Have you unzipped it? You have to put the bin file on the card only, not the exe or dmg
I have a similar isssue on my Z6II, I just updated the firmware to 1.50 and needed to update my ftzii adapter from 1.00 to 1.10 . But when added it does not let me update my ftz firmware

You can see the firmware version from the menu of your camera.
Geez, I am suddenly missing my NIKON SLR with film!😢
Thank you

Oh Lord. I am going back to 35mm. It was so much easier. LOL
It seems that way, doesn't it ;-)
