A Canadian wedding photographer and camera tinkerer has seemingly managed to install DOOM on his Nikon Zf. You heard that right, an Instagram video shows the 1993 first-person shooter video game running on the rear LCD screen of Nikon’s full-frame retro camera in what has to be my favorite unofficial camera enhancement of all time. In the video (below) Taylor Jackson can be seen using the camera’s d-pad to navigate the grisly sci-fi setting and using the playback button to fire ‘Doomguys’’ pistol.
Hilariously, Nikon USA has commented on the video stating: “We have questions 👀”. Now, I’m no hacker, but when I Googled the subject, the search page’s AI Overview seemed to think that loading third-party software onto a modern Nikon was very difficult given the locked-down architecture of the 'Big N's' cameras. The footage does look very convincing but whether it's a genuine port or camera trickery, the practice of loading DOOM onto unconventional devices most certainly does happen.
