Download Firmware Nikon D5 1.20

Nikon has for its D5 digital SLR cameras released new firmware, with version number 1.20. These cameras have an fx-format CMOS image sensor with 20.8 megapixels in combination with an Expeed 5 image processing processor on board and are suitable for lenses with a Nikon F mount. The firmware can be installed from a Windows or macOS machine and is approximately 45MB in size. The list of changes for this update is as follows:

Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.10 to 1.20

• Added two new AF-area modes: group-area AF (HL) and group-area AF (VL). The user selects a row (HL) or column (VL) focus points; if AF-C is selected as the focus point, the camera gives priority to the point in the selected row or column containing the subject closest to the camera.
• Updated the photo information display to show the color temperature for photos taken with Auto selected for white balance.
• Added an Exif tag showing the difference between the local time zone and UTC, part of the Exif 2.31 specification.
• Added support for the following features of AF-P lenses:
  • If the standby timer expires after the camera focuses, the focus position will not be changed when the timer is reactivated.
  • In manual focus mode, the focus indicator in the viewfinder (or in live view, the focus point selected in the monitor) will blink to indicate that infinity or the minimum focus distance has been reached by rotating the focus ring.
• Changed the checks performed when Clean image sensor > Clean now is selected in the SETUP MENU. We recommend cleaning the image sensor after updating the firmware.
• The following issues have been resolved:
  • The higher the amount of Active D-Lighting selected when optional flash units were used in combination with auto aperture (AA), non-TTL auto (A), or distance-priority manual flash mode (GN), the greater the overexposure in the final images.
  • Exposure changes (including exposure compensation) were not reflected in the photo live view exposure preview while the display was zoomed in.
  • Photo live view screen white balance could not be selected in the i-button menu while exposure preview was displayed in photo live view.
  • Taking long bursts of photos with On selected for Network > Options > Auto Send sometimes caused the recording of data to the memory card to be greatly delayed.
• Reduced the amount of time it took to connect to hidden SSIDs when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for Authentication.
• Some help text updated.
