Nikon Z Users: Update Your Copyright Year Before Your Next Shoot

Did you know your Nikon Z camera does NOT automatically update the copyright year? ?
Yep — if you don’t change it manually, your photos could still say last year… or worse.

In this short video, I’ll show you exactly how to update the copyright name and year on any Nikon Z camera in under a minute. No stress. No digging through menus.

? This ensures every new photo you take has the correct copyright info embedded in the metadata — perfect for Lightroom, client work, and protecting your images.

? Copyright example used in this video:

?? Important notes:
• The year does NOT auto-update (you must change it manually)
• This only applies to new photos, not ones already taken
• Each Nikon Z body must be updated individually
