Just find Nikon Z7 teardown ,
STM32F412 and R5F56519AD are found on Z7 mother board .
Wild guessing :
The firmware is probably divided into 3 parts , for Expeed , for STM32F412 and R5F56519AD respectively.

Just take a look at D750 Firmware A (running on Toshiba TMPM440 ARM cortex-M4 MCU),
there is one useful backdoor added , it reads Firmware A directly and sends back to PC over USB connection .
I hope this backdoor is supported in Nikon Z7 , then we don't have to wait for Nikon Z7 Firmware updating package .

Download Nikon Z7 firmware package v1.01 and v1.02 .
Thanks to Simeon's tool , just decrypt and extract 3 files from FW package ,
i believe they are FirmWare A , FirmWare B and FirmWare C respectively.
