Later in the week we saw Firmware updates version 3.20 for Nikon
Z6 and Z7 cameras http://bit.ly/2KwPaTx





The latest Nikon Z6/Z7 firmware update version 3.20 unlocked
Blackmagic RAW support.  Your camera still has to go to
Nikon for RAW update. £199 / $199





If you have done the update already then you just need to update
the firmware.





With the Z 7, RAW video output is possible only with full-HD
videos recorded in the FX-based video format and 4K UHD videos
recorded in the DX-based video format. With the Z 6, 4K UHD and
full-HD RAW video output is possible with both FX- and DX-based
movie formats.
