Firmware Updates For Two Nikon SLRS

By Matt J. Weiss, January 23, 2009 @ 02:00 AM (EST)

Nikon D3

 

About this firmware update
This service provides software for upgrading D3 firmware to
v2.01. When performing this firmware upgrade, be sure to upgrade both A and B firmware. Be aware that operation of your D3 is not guaranteed if either A or B firmware is upgraded while the other firmware is not upgraded.

 

The following improvements have been made in version 2.01

- Geodetic information is now displayed in ViewNX Ver. 1.2.0 or later and Capture NX 2 Ver. 2.1.0 or later for images captured with the GPS Unit GP-1 mounted on the camera. 
- Autofocus-response performance in focus mode C (Continuous-servo AF mode) with relatively dark subjects has been increased. 
- When the AF-ON button is pressed, the monitor turns off and a focus point can now be selected using the multi selector. 

- Photo information displayed in full-frame playback has been modified as follows: 
  HI-, LO- has been changed to Hi, Lo
  WARM TONE has been changed to WARM FILTER
  COLOR CUSTOM has been changed to COLOR BALANCE

- Manamah, displayed in the Time zone options for the World time item in the setup menu, has been changed to Manama
- An issue that, in extremely rare cases, resulted in noticeable black dots in images captured with
Long exp. NR in the shooting menu set to On has been resolved. 
- When the Speedlight SB-800 was mounted on the camera with flash mode set to Distance-priority manual (GN) mode, and then the exposure meters were reactivated or the camera was turned on, the distance information displayed on the SB-800 changed.  This issue has been resolved.  
- An issue that, in some rare cases, caused images captured with the following lenses to be under-exposed, has been resolved. 
  AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
  AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED (5.0x)

About this firmware update
This service provides software for upgrading D700 firmware to
v1.01.

 

The following improvements have been made in version 1.01

- When Custom Setting a4 Focus tracking with lock-on was set to Off in Continuous-servo AF, the lens drive moved gradually without achieving focus.  This issue has been resolved. 
- When the Speedlight SB-800 was mounted on the camera with flash mode set to Distance-priority manual (GN) mode, and then the exposure meters were reactivated or the camera was turned on, the distance information displayed on the SB-800 changed.  This issue has been resolved. 
- When the Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 was mounted on the camera and an EN-EL3e battery inserted in the camera but no batteries inserted in the MB-D10, and SB-900 flash mode set to TTL auto flash mode, the flash mode changed to
A mode when the exposure meters turned off or were reactivated, or the camera was turned off or on.  This issue has been resolved.  (This issue has also been resolved with SB-900 firmware Ver. 5.02.)
- An issue that, in extremely rare cases, resulted in noticeable black dots in images captured with
Long exp. NR in the shooting menu set to On has been resolved.
-
