D3s Firmware update.

[Graham W]

Just had an email from Nikon saying there is an update available for the D3s, here. http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/192.html
Doesn't say what it's for though. I somehow doubt it's on a par with Fuji updates and they're going to give me loads of new stuff!

Changes from Firmware Versions “A” 1.01/“B” 1.01 to “A” 1.02/“B” 1.02

• • Added support for AF-S NIKKOR 800 mm f/5.6E FL ED VR lenses.

Changes from Firmware Versions “A” 1.00/“B” 1.00 to “A” 1.01/“B” 1.01

• • Made the following changes to movie recording to fix an issue that on rare occasions made it appear as though recording had stopped:
  • - A “shooting info + histogram” display is available in the live view exposure preview for Tripod mode, but the histogram now clears from the display during recording.
  • - When the camera is connected to a TV using an EG-D2 audio/video cable, pressing the live view button displays the view through the lens both on the TV and in the camera monitor, but the camera monitor now turns off during movie recording. The monitor turns on when the EG-D2 audio/video cable is disconnected from the camera.
• • Changed some Simplified Chinese menus and help text.
• • With some CompactFlash memory cards, the top control panel would display “CHA” and the card could not be used. This issue has been fixed.

No 'goodies' though

Thank's gramps. To be honest I hadn't looked very hard.

Apparently the latest upgrade is to; A 1.03 and B 1.0

"Support for the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR has been added."

It may also affect 3rd party grips, batteries............?

Yes, this is something I am always aware of with Nikon updates. Rumors of them including "Disabling" firmware.

I think I'll leave mine as they are, nothing of any interest there

I’m going to download mine and keep it just in case.

Updates have caused problems for me in the past.
