NX Field is a remote photography application developed by Nikon Corporation intended for those with a basic knowledge of networks and FTP servers. The iPhone or iPad to which the NX Field app has been installed can be used to remotely configure, operate, and release the shutters on up to nine cameras connected to a network. Download image data to your iPhone or iPad. Upload pictures directly to an FTP server while the app is running. ■Supported Digital Cameras as of August 2025 Z9, Z8, Z6III, D6 Camera firmware must be updated to a version that supports NX Field. Only users of the D6 can request the firmware update from a Nikon-authorized service representative. For more information, visit the site below. Users of the Z9, Z8, and Z6III can download the update from the Nikon Download Center and install it themselves. https://nps.nikonimaging.com/nx_field/ The update is not available in some countries; for more information, contact your service provider. Some functions may not be available with some cameras. Please see the NX Field system user's manual for more information. Principal Features - Control remote cameras (up to a recommended maximum of nine) from your iPhone or iPad. - Display the view through the camera lens on your iPhone or iPad during shooting. - Use a gamepad to control remote cameras connected to your iPhone or iPad. - The iPad version can be used to take pictures remotely while displaying the views through the lenses of up to nine remote cameras simultaneously. - Adjust exposure, focus, white balance, image quality, auto capture, and other settings remotely. - Remotely format memory cards and edit the FTP profiles on the remote cameras. - Simultaneously release the shutters on connected remote cameras. - Upload pictures directly from the remote camera to an FTP server. - Copy saved settings for all remote cameras to other iPhones or iPads. - The iPad version can display the locations of remote cameras by positioning icons on, or adding hand-drawn annotations to, a selected image for the background. - Cabled Ethernet connections offer greater reliability and faster image transfer than wireless connections. - Images recorded by remote cameras can be displayed as a list or group of thumbnails. - Voice memos can be recorded and attached to images. System Requirements iOS16.0 or later iPadOS16.0 or later There is no guarantee that this app will run on all devices. Notes - The app may not perform as expected depending on your environment and network conditions.

The best wired and wireless remote control app for my Z8
Nov 14

SuperShal2
This is the app we have been waiting for . A complete remote solution for our Z8. This gives Nikon a true edge over other brands. I think they could extend this app to other platforms. It would be great if iPhone app start supporting landscape orientation so that we can do screen mirroring to large displays. Also it would be nice to have the camera control screen in iPad in a larger screen area so that we can see the live view and last shot image in a bigger space. Currently it is only there on 25% of screen. But overall it is a fantastic app.

Hardwire Remote Solution with Great Potential

NX field is complex software, targeted primarily at agencies who have techs whose job it is to configure and support the FTP Server (required), local and remote (if you’re adventurous) networks, and coordinate the paid firmware updates with NPS for all cameras to be used with the system. I am a very technologically adept freelancer and set the system up myself, including the setup of gamepads supported in the latest edition, for use at the US 2024 Olympic Trials for Swimming. The system proved very valuable for FTP transmission but needs a way for a photographer with a camera in hand to trigger remotes independently (you can set up a master remote that fires all, but that floods your take) and not via joystick or iPad because you have a camera in your hand. Ideal solution to me after extensive field testing would be making numbers 1-9 on a numpad hot keys for triggering independently each of the 9 possible remotes for system: it’s common for warehouse workers, for example, to be able to use a 10-key (include 0) without looking with high accuracy and speed. I would actually use a 3-key mini pad and strap it to my monopod to fire with my left hand fingers while using my right to hold and fire my camera in hand and never look down. 9 remotes is too much to remember if you’re the only photographer. As an assistant, I think 10-key would be much faster than trying to do the same on the iPad. In short, this has a lot of promise if you can dedicate the time - allow a lot, won’t be something setup in even a week of spare time - and Nikon can make a simple usability update. As stands gets a 5 on basis there’s not a good alternative to system’s existing functionality and does what it says will do if you dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s, have patience during process.

Doesn’t work. Fails to connect phone (iPhone 12, operating with latest iOS), with Nikon Z9, (with latest firmware 4.00). This just fails.

◆The thumbnail list area has been expanded for larger, clearer viewing of thumbnails. ◆Preset manual white balance data can now be acquired remotely for the Z8 and Z6III. ◆Auto capture can now be controlled remotely via the NX Field app with the Z8 and Z6III as well. ◆The date and time to start auto capture can now be configured via the NX Field app with the Z8 and Z6III. We have improved usability. Made some minor bug fixes.
