Nikon Z9 Firmware update 1.10 - 5 times more shots?!

Featured Saturday, 08 January 2022 09:24

UPDATE - I WAS WRONG IN MY TESTING. PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE HERE.

I got between 5-25% more shots depending on the settings used - but the claimed '15 seconds shooting at 20fps RAW+JPEG'... I simply didn't get those results - it's roughly half that. And tbh it is using the lowest quality settings which I would NOT recommend! Having said all that, I tend to shoot at 12-15 FPS and in those settings - it goes and goes. If shooting just RAW it will shoot forever at 12-15 FPS with the right cards.
