What Is Nikon NX Field?

For those who don’t know about NX Field,  the Nikon NX Field is a professional-grade remote shooting app from Nikon currently available for iOS apps for iPhones and iPads, first launched in June 2021, designed for agencies and pros to cover any event or game with multiple cameras flawlessly

• Control up to 10 cameras (one master, nine remotes) via wired LAN, wireless LAN, or 4G/5G networks.
• Adjust settings remotely, from autofocus to exposure, using the NX Field app on a smartphone or tablet (iPhone 8 or later, iPad Pro 2018+).
• Transfer images instantly to FTP servers for rapid publishing—crucial for newsrooms and sports agencies.
• Sync shutters for multi-angle shots, perfect for capturing that game-winning goal from every perspective.

Added support for enterprise users’ “NX Field” remote shooting system.  Take a look at the features of the NX field software that you can do with your app

• Realizing shutter release, setting changes, and FTP image transmission of up to 10 remote cameras synchronized with a master camera via wired LAN cable.
• Wired LAN connection ensures reliable remote camera shutter release even in situations where many photographers are shooting with remote cameras via radio waves at once.
• Synchronization is also compatible with Wi-Fi connection using WT-5/6 Wireless Transmitters.
• The status of remote cameras, including connection status, latest shutter-release time, etc., can be confirmed from a master camera in order to avoid unintended errors.
• A smart device with the NX Field application installed can be used to change settings and check live view images of remote cameras, allowing for operation in narrow spaces or remote shooting from a distant location.
• Automatic FTP image transmission during synchronized shooting of a master and remote cameras as well as while changing camera settings via a smart device with the NX Field application.
• Easy recovery from FTP server network errors by remotely reconnecting to the server.
• Easy switching between shooting with a master camera only, with remote cameras only, or with both the master and remote cameras, which helps to avoid capturing unnecessary images and ensures that only the desired images are transferred.
• Autofocusing is possible with remote cameras from a master camera or smart device with the NX Field application.
• Remote shooting via the Internet, such as 4G/5G mobile network, is possible.
• The robotics of Mark Roberts Motion Control Limited can also be synchronized with a master camera.
• Silent remote shooting with compatible Z series cameras* for expanded shooting scenarios.
