Which Nikon cameras load custom Picture Controls?
17 Nikon cameras load custom Picture Controls from .NP3 files: the Z bodies below and the D6 and D780 DSLRs. Flexible Color presets, the newer NP3 format most recipes in this library use, need a Zf, Z6 III, Z8, Z9, Z50 II, Z5 II, or ZR; the Zf needs firmware 2.00 or later, the Z8 3.00 or later, and the Z9 5.30 or later. The older bodies can still use those recipes after converting them to NP3 v0300 in the NP3 Editor.
