A coming update will add ‘Content Credentials’ to combat the rise of fake imagery and unauthorised usage

A firmware update for the new Nikon Z6III will add a function called Content Credentials that preserves original, unaltered image data recorded by the camera. This technology, based on standards set out by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), will make it easier to verify the authenticity of images and protect the rights of photographers.

 

The Z6III equipped with a development version of the new firmware was on show at Adobe MAX 2024 and the system is undergoing testing before being released to some news and other agencies in mid-2025.

 

A Nikon spokesperson says: “Nikon is committed to developing solutions and contributing to C2PA standards, with the goal of protecting individuals and enterprises in the imaging industry, and ultimately society, from any unfavourable results caused by fake images and/or unauthorised use of images.

 

“Nikon will continue to work to address the ever-changing issues surrounding image authenticity and contribute to the further development of imaging culture by working toward a society in which those involved in the imaging industry are able to conduct their creative and business activities with greater peace of mind.”
