Longer takes for Nikon ZR

Posted on Mar 5, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker

Nikon has released a free firmware update for the ZR, which delivers a set of improvements for long-form and multicamera production

The headline upgrade from Nikon extends maximum continuous recording time from 125 minutes to 360 minutes, which makes the ZR more suitable for documentaries. The update also adds timecode input via the external mic/line jack, while a Red-style file-naming system improves organisation on multicam shoots with Red cameras. 

Usability advances include expanded LUT import capacity (now up to 50), new exposure warning lines for Log recording and an energy-saving lamp option.
