Note that [Distance] is available with NIKKOR Z lenses and may not function as expected when used with other lenses.The length of time the camera will continue to buffer frames before cancelling shooting during the Pre-Release Capture phase of high-speed frame capture has been increased from 30 to 300 seconds.Added [Large] to the size options available for [Role played by card in Slot 2] > [JPEG Slot 1 - JPEG Slot 2] in the photo shooting menu.Added new bracketing increments for use during auto bracketing with [AE & flash bracketing], [AE bracketing], or [Flash bracketing] selected for [Auto bracketing set]. This change also applies to [Interval timer shooting] > [Options] > [AE bracketing] > [Increment].
