Nikon ZR firmware 2.00 is due November 24, according to a leak from French YouTuber Mr Camera — not an official announcement, but one that aligns with Nikon’s own statement that the update would arrive before year-end. The firmware will bring Log3G10 gamma support for H.265 video, letting ZR users tap into RED’s color science without shooting massive RAW files.

That cuts memory card demands and eases editing workloads on laptops and workstations. It also adds selectable High ISO noise reduction levels, focus peaking during RED RAW recording, 3D LUT application over HDMI output, and reduced flicker in low-light shooting. No pricing or regional rollout details were disclosed, firmware updates for Nikon cameras are typically free and global.

Nikon has not confirmed the date, nor has it released a public changelog beyond what was outlined in early November press materials. Users should wait for Nikon’s official download page on nikonusa.com or nikon.co.in before installing. The update applies to the Nikon ZR series only, not the Z8, Z9, or earlier Z models.

Firmware 2.00 drops just weeks after YouTube Studio added native support for Log3G10 metadata tagging, a quiet but meaningful sync for creators uploading directly from ZR footage.
