Firmware update

[Dangermouse]

Been contemplating doing this on my D7000 for a few days but it looks scarey on Nikon's update page, anyway I plucked up the courage and followed the instructions and thought well at least I can send it away if it goes the usual way things go when I normally update stuff.

To my surprise it worked and its not as scarey as I first thought, none of the upgrading A first then B, it does it all in one go, happy days, one D7000 with latest firmware installed and working.

Yep, just bought a D7000 and first thing I did was to upgrade the firmware to latest version. Thought the instructions on the Nikon site were nice and clear and it was a dead simple process.

Did you upgrade the Distortion Control as well? It's the same process just with a different file

No only the firmware for now, is it needed the distortion control as it seems fine

No idea if it's needed (or what it does!) but made sense to me to have everything as up to date as possible

The distortion update is there for the newer lenses such as the 16-80mm and 800mm iirc.
