Nikon Stops Including Charging Cable Due to Chip Shortage

The semiconductor shortage is hitting the camera market in unexpected ways. According to an official notice published to Nikon Japan, the company says that it doesn't have the parts necessary to include the adapter that allows Z7 or Z7 II cameras to charge a battery in-camera.

The company has announced that it will stop including the AC adapter EH-7P with new Nikon Z7 and Z7 II cameras starting July 1. The company says that because it supplies semiconductors worldwide and due to the increased demand and low stock, it has become difficult for it to procure some of the necessary electronic parts needed to make the chargers.

"Due to the influence of the problem, it is difficult to procure some electronic parts, so we have decided to end the bundled inclusion of the Z7 II and Z7 that previously came with the EH-7P from Thursday, July 1st," the company explains, translated from Japanese.

Nikon did not specify if this was a permanent decision.

Nikon MH-25A

For those who purchase a Z7 or Z7 II after July 1, charging can still take place with the included classic-style MH-25A wall charger that requires the battery to be removed from the camera in order to charge. Additionally, Nikon also says that either camera can be connected to a computer using a USB Cable UC-E25 which is sold separately. The Z7, Z7 II, and both the Z7 24-70mm and Z7 24-70mm FTZ mount adapter kits are affected by this change.

"We will do our utmost to deliver better products to our customers, and we appreciate your understanding."

According to Digital Camera World, Nikon isn't the only one who is changing what chargers are included with its cameras. Olympus is supposedly not including the BCS-5 battery charger that had previously been included with other PEN cameras with its PEN E-P7 camera but instead requires the battery to be charged while in the battery compartment of the camera using a USB F-5AC charging cable -- this is the reverse situation from Nikon.

While the global semiconductor shortage has hit computers and cars hardest, this situation shows that camera manufacturing is also susceptible to the problems, albeit in an unusual way.

Olympus Unveils the PEN E-P7, But It’s Not Coming to North America

OM Digital has announced the first camera to come to market since the company was spun off from Olympus, but it's not coming to North America. The PEN E-P7 is only going to be available in Europe and Japan and the company currently has no plans to make it available elsewhere.

As a note, OM Digital will still be known by Olympus when it comes to cameras and camera equipment for the time being. The Olympus PEN E-P7 packs a 20-megapixel sensor with five-axis image stabilization, built-in WiFi, and a tilting rear LCD screen.

OM Digital says that the camera features a classic design and is equipped with a 20-megapixel Live MOS sensor along with the company's high-speed TruePic VIII image processor. It also has "advanced" continuous autofocus and Face Priority/Eye Priority algorithms that are carried over from the company's professional OM-D series cameras.

The PEN E-P7, has a dedicated Profile Control dial on the front that allows for quick and easy switching between standard camera modes to color, monochrome, or filter effect profiles. OM Digital says that it is ideal for the creation of "unique and creative images" thanks to the 12 color step control and 10 step saturation controls. It also allows for in-camera highlight and shadow adjustment with the aforementioned Profile Control dial that the company says results in "stunning black and white images."

OM Digital says that thanks to the Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity, users can easily connect to the OI.Share smartphone app to transfer photos between the camera and iOS or Android phones and tablets. The camera also has several advanced photo modes that allow for more creative applications, like the Multi Exposure and long exposure modes.

Thanks to the five-axis on-sensor stabilizer, the PEN E-P7 is suitable for both low-light still and hand-held video capture. The camera can shoot 4K video as well, which OM Digital infers will add to its versatility as a hybrid camera.

The camera can be purchased with an optional "genuine leather body jacket," accessory that perfectly fits the camera but still allows the rear monitor to be opened and articulated without removing the case.

It's a minor update for PEN fans, and given its region-specific launch, it may not move the needle for many in the west. That said, Olympus is one of the more popular brands in Japan, and the camera will very likely sell well there.

The Olympus PEN E-P7 will be available starting in mid-June in either white and silver or black and silver starting at 799 Euros. It can be paired with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ lens for 899 Euros.
