D300 firmware update 1.02 A

[amanita]

Nikon Europe published it today here.

From the site:

About this firmware update
The D300 has two different sets of firmware, A and B. This download upgrades the A firmware to version 1.02 only.
This firmware resolves an issue which, in rare cases, causes vertical bands to appear in images captured at shutter speeds slower than 8 seconds.

Interested?

does this hail back to the D200 banding issue ?

 

[Messiah Khan]

I've not done a huge deal of long exposure work since getting my D300, so i've not seen this fault, but I might as well update the firmware.

 

[Salty Dog]

Thanks, Ales. Sounds like a good idea.

 

[Commodorefirst]

No, not like the banding issue, from what I have heard it is a software processing/writing issue, but I know enough to not believe everything I hear,

Question.... Should we load this into a US version or is it best to wait or it to post on Nikonusa?

The link above is for the mac version, if you click that link and just hit the search button at the top it will give you the option for the windows download.

David,
If you will go to the link for your OS ,there are clear instructions for how to update the firmware.

 

[Gale]

Thanks Tosh
I was looking for it when you posted.
I have the USA link

 

[bwilder10h]

Any chance this would address all the focus issues people have been having?

If it does, more likely than not Nikon wouldn't publicize it. :wink:

i posted it too, how come i dont get a thank you :frown::frown:

:tongue:

 

[cleoent]

Yes!

 

[Phil]

Here's something interesting. You can't update the firmware using the MB-D10 with AA batteries. The camera told me it can't update using these batteries. I had to take off the grip to start the update.

 

[Marcos]

OK!

i posted it too, how come i dont get a thank you :frown::frown:

:tongue:

Thank you!!!
