New Z6III Firmware Update 2.01

Nikon Z6III Firmware 2.01 Fixes the Photo/Video Switching Bug

I've had significant issues with my Z6III when switching between photo and video modes: the camera wouldn't register the switch every single time. Many users online reported the same problem after updating to V2.0, as I did, and V2.01 appears to have finally addressed it on my camera body, anyway. Hope this is useful for any hybrid shooters out there like myself.

Let me know if this resolved the issue for you.
