To Users of the Nikon Z 9 Mirrorless Camera

Thank you for choosing Nikon for your photographic needs.

Users of the Z 9 mirrorless camera have informed us that there are cases in which the lens release button on their Z 9 cameras, when pressed, does not function as it should and does not allow for rotation and removal of a lens or mount adapter from the camera.

Based on our investigation into the matter, we have discovered that parts that do not meet our quality standards were used on some Z 9 cameras. We have identified a range of Z 9 camera serial numbers that may contain those parts and will address the issue as follows. 

Nikon will inspect affected cameras and replace parts as needed at no cost to the customer, including the cost of shipping affected Z 9 cameras to Nikon, as well as their return to customers, even if the warranty has expired.

Please direct inquiries regarding this issue to your nearest Nikon Service Center.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause.
