Well, it’s only been out for a brief period but Nikon have already upgraded the firmware for any owners of it’s new high ISO king. If you are lucky enough to own one of these then get yourself the latest firmware as it offers several improvements over the original firmware. A list of which and links to both the Mac and PC versions of the firmware and installation instructions can be found below.
What’s been improved?
1) Movie recording specifications have been modified as follows and an issue that, in some rare cases, caused movie playback to appear to have stopped has been resolved.
2) When exposure preview is enabled in live view tripod mode, information + histogram display is possible, but the histogram is no longer displayed while movies are recorded.
3) When the live view button is pressed with the Audio Video Cable EG-D2 connected, the image is displayed in both the television and camera monitor, but the camera monitor now turns off during movie recording.
4) The camera monitor turns on again when the Audio Video Cable EG-D2 is disconnected from the camera.
5) Some simplified Chinese menus and help displays have been revised.
6) When some memory cards were inserted in the camera, “CHA” was displayed in the top control panel and images could not be captured. This issue has been resolved.
