We have already published a patent that Nikon working on 18-135mm APS-C Mirrorless lens with Silent AF Motor. Now, we have one more patent that clearly says Nikon is working more to improve the AF noise generated by the lenses by limiting the AF speed of the AF motor.
Nikon APS-C Mirrorless to have Silent Mode and Normal AF Mode
Don’t get confused with DSLRs in camera silent mode, for example I have used Nikon D850 DSLR silent mode in which camera uses the electronic shutter to capture images and same in the case of Nikon new Z6 and Z7 Mirrorless camera, if you select silent mode in nikon Z7 camera the shutter slap noise will be reduce while using electronic shutter, however in LED light lights some banding issues may appear while using silent shutter.
The new patent reveals silent AF Mode, in Silent AF mode camera will limit the AF speed to minimize the noise of the AF motor.
The silent AF lenses coming for Nikon APS-C Mirrorless camera and very soon the tech will be also implemented in FF Mirrorless camera.

Nikon Silent AF Patent More Details
(Description of the silent mode)
Lens control unit of the present embodiment, the control of the lens driving unit performs based on the two kinds of control modes (normal control mode, the silent control mode). If the lens control unit is the normal control mode is set, the lens control unit 203 controls the lens driving unit 212 without limiting the driving speed of the focusing lens. On the other hand, if the lens control unit silent control mode is set, the lens control unit drives the speed of the focusing lens controls the lens driving unit so as not to exceed a predetermined maximum drive speed. More specifically, in the control of the lens drive unit monitors the driving speed of the focusing lens detected by the lens speed detector, the detected driving speed is not exceeded the maximum driving speed of the .
Nikon Working on More Advance Display Units For DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. These new DSLR and Mirrrorless display unit will allow users to see them self without any issue.
Very Soon, we will see new style of display units not only in Mirrorless, but in DSLRs too. So, instead of having vari-angle display screen in DSLRs, we will be soon having the fully tillable screen in Nikon DSLRs as well as Mirrorless.
Take a look at one more images of the patent, that explains in very details way the working mechanism behind the new Display units of Nikon upcoming Mirrorless camera.
Nikon DSLR patent spotted with Built-in Image Stabilization, yes I am talking about introduction of sensor shift image stabilization in DSLRs. So, in near future Nikon DSLRs will have both Lens and Image based stabilization.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration of shake correcting performance due to an error.SOLUTION: A shake correcting device comprises: an angular speed sensor 12B for detecting angular speed of a camera; an acceleration sensor 12A for detecting acceleration of the camera; a posture computing portion 32 for computing the posture of the camera, on the basis of output of the angular speed sensor and the acceleration sensor; a correcting portion 21 for correcting the output of the acceleration speed sensor, on the basis of a computing result of the posture computing portion; a control portion 35 for controlling shake correction, on the basis of an acceleration signal after correction by the correcting portion and an angular speed signal from the angular speed sensor; and a determining portion 51 for determining reliability of an initial posture of the posture computing portion. The control portion makes weight of the signal based on the acceleration sensor heavier (S9), when the determining portion determines that the reliability of the initial posture is low (YES in S7).
I was really amazed to see with the help of FTZ adapter the Nikon Z6 camera was working in collaboration with Nikon VR (Optical Image stabilization) system. After activating the Lens based VR the overall image stabilization of the camera unexpectedly improved, you can see for yourself.
Nikon Should Add VR to S-Line of lenses
After watching this video I recommend and hope that Nikon will soon add VR (Vibration reduction) tech to their future S-Line of lenses. Since, the camera they have made support DUAL IS feature. The Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 share same Image stabilization module inside, so there is no doubt that Nikon Z7 will also work in collaboration with VR lenses.
It’s look like Nikon is serious about their APS-C format Mirrorless camera. Just, take a look what Nikon representatives said to dpreview staff
Do you think the Z mount will eventually be an APS-C platform, as well as full-frame?
I cannot disclose our plans but for today I can say that since we launched the Z series, our DX format DSLR users have been asking us to apply mirrorless technology to the DX format as well. If we employ APS-C sensors [in mirrorless] maybe the system can be made even smaller. So as we go along, we’ll listen to the voices of our customers.
So, its a clear that Nikon is working on the DX format APS-C Mirrorless system but they don’t want to disclose their plans right now.
If you can read they have clearly said – users have been asking us to apply mirrorless technology to the DX format as well and we’ll listen to the voices of our customers.
Nikon Z-Mount APS-C Mirrorless Coming
In my view, I don’t think Nikon will do same mistake as Canon did with their EOS M system, they are smart enough to use same Z-mount for their APS-C Mirrorless system to make the entire Mirrorless range More versatile and user friendly, just like their DX and FX DSLR line-up.
From what I recall, Canon made nearly the same statement that Nikon did here, only they were talking about creating an APS-C option using the RF mount…alluding to the fact that EF-M will continue on as the “fun, micro compact” mirrorless option, living alone and probably rarely visited in its own unique active retirement center. This can be interpreted in a more cynical way too, but, as things tend to happen over time and not instantaneously, current EF-M user may migrate to the RF platform on their own anyway, forgoing any sort of standoff.
The low, low price on the RP might have been designed as an additional incentive to EF-M owners as encouragement to simply get them off their unlucky mount.
The RP is a potluck dinner, bits and pieces from several different kitchens. Some ingredients maybe starting to turn, but enough spices and a couple tablespoons of klonopin to make sure it goes down with a dumb smile. Nothing special, just get everyone eating at the same table, maybe in the hope of consolidating their 3 1/2 mounts to just 1.
It’s too bad Canon didn’t actually try with the EF-M range. Like, really try to make it good instead of the rock soup they always insist on serving their customers by cutting corners and options until what’s left is a child’s arts and crafts snowflake that unfolds in a very disappointing—but sturdy— smdesign. Not inexpensive Swiss cheese served on thin napkins, using two sporks songoinrd with a rubber band to prevent excited guest from spreading too much contagious enthusiasm.
Just imagine Canon really trying—to the point that they even admit they tried. Like, throw the kitchen sink at a camera and unchain some engineers from their focus group chaperones, and really let them do what they want. To an extent, the way Sony operates with their albeit, uneven crop ILCs… Sony ain’t scared of a cobra. They’re a badasss Honey Badger. In no way do they care about adding cool new tech that might upset the delicate (artificial) hierarchy of customer expectations, price points and materials’ costs. If Canon were a person, I think they would’ve been peeing the bed well into their adolescence. Brilliant, but scared of their own shadow. Especially since it appears now that EF-M might’ve been, 100%, a large scale feasibility study, much like what the Saturn Relay snd Pontiac Montana were to the yet untested, potentially, uhh, brilliant idea of merging a minivan with SUV “looks.”
Come in Canon, with a slim to zero chance of a future with EF-M no matter what, they really should’ve dropped some tech in there and freaked out done it thrur retired engineers cum photographers. Canon’s RF spec certainly goes back quite a way, even it began as nothing more than a contingency plan—so the EF-M scheme would’ve been pretty safe to let loose on, Canon. Or, if you’re not careful, you might gmsonehoe acquire the nickname Cannot. ??♀️ Good nigh, sleep tight.

Nikon Z7 test score published at DXO Mark LAB. Of course the camera is one of the best performing Mirrorless camera and scored almost similar rating compared to Nikon D850 DSLR camera. BTW, its look like Nikon is using same sensor of Nikon D850 camera inside Nikon Z7. Fabrication of AF points inside the D850 sensor doesn’t change its performance scale.
As you can see Nikon Z7 is just behind the Sony A7R III camera with a very marginal difference. BTW, best low light camera among the list is Sony A7 III with highest low light score.
