Download Firmware Nikon D3 2.01

Nikon has put new firmware online for the D3 digital camera. The firmware has been given version number 2.01 and can be downloaded via Windows and Mac OS X applied to the dslr. In this firmware a number of bugs have been removed from the software. For example, photos shot with an AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED and an AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED are no longer underexposed. There are also minor tweaks to the gui. The exact changelog is below:

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)
