New Z6/Z7 firmware out, fixes iTTL face detect bug

I can also report that my Sigma 18-35 F1/8 & Tamron 18-140VC still work with the firmware update

Am I the only one who liked the design of the yellow-to-green progress bar?

What I thought was most important was that it reached the end. I've experienced a few stalled firmware reflashes (not in cameras though), those can really raise the blood pressure.

When you update the firmware, does it reset all the settings to factory defaults?

No

Another successful installation here, on my Z7, in case someone is waiting to see whether problems arise. I hadn't come across the problems described, and haven't had time to do a thorough shakedown, but after a brief set of test images everything appears to be working.

It shouldn't, and hasn't for me in the past, but I back up my settings anyway

This firmware update don't help me in anyways, as I don't work on any of the functions it is giving fixes for. So I will skip this update and wait for the 'real' one...

And here come the people that say "I'll skip this one". Smh.
Try using a Speedlight with AF-C and Auto Area AF. You'll see the same issue many have been experiencing. Just update your firmware and be on par with the rest of the units......as Nikon intended

As I said, I don't use any of the functions that Nikon is fixing in this update. Why should I use Speed light, just to experience the problem? I don't use speed lights...

So don't say anything about it. Just pass on this update without announcing it: "so I will skip this update and wait for the 'real' one..." Come on man.

This is a "real one", for many people with the issues it FIXED. And believe, the next update will have this update applied to it as well. No avoiding it.
