Curious to know - D300s firmware update... AA battery meter

[Trig's]

I've downloaded the Nikon D300s firmware update ....

When I've chucked in the 8 AA's the battery reading info still read the same as before the upgrade which is:

Bat meter - It shows the battery icon (under MB-D10)
Pic meter shows: --
Battery age shows: --
(0-4_) shows: --

Just curious to know if anyone else downloaded the upgrade & has/had the same reading as above...

Just thought that the reading might/would've been different in some way that's all... Just that nothing has changed what so ever anywhere on the 2 screens (before anyone asks )

I think it's just for the Nikon-branded Li-Ion batteries if you use a battery-grip - with store-bought AA's it wouldn't make a difference as there's no chip for the camera's software to read...

I s'pose was I was on the assumption that it showed roughly the same info as the Nikon batteries but on AA's (if you get my meaning)...

Maybe I'm expecting too much - Should take up a lawyers course so I can interpret what they actually meant in their description when reading it

If you want to class this D300s update Nikon D300s 06/01/2010 as recent then be my guest

Just that I wasn't using AA's in my MB-D10 till recently....
