Nikon is preparing for the imminent shipping of its latest APS-C sensor DSLR by issuing updates to some of its supporting software applications. New versions of Capture NX-D, Camera Control Pro, ViewNX-i and Picture Control Utility have been made available in readiness for the Nikon D7500, which will begin to be distributed in early June in some regions.
Most of the updates deal principally with compatibility for the new camera, but Nikon has taken the opportunity to tackle a few bugs and to make some minor improvements to the user experience as well.
At the same time, new firmware has been issued for the KeyMission 170, which Nikon says makes the connection between the camera and iOS version of SnapBridge more reliable.
For more information, and to download the updates, see the support pages of Nikon’s website.
