Upgrade went without a hitch.
How long does it take the camera to pull the data from the CF card, arclight? I've never done a firmware update on mine before, but the instructions do make a big song and dance about doing it with the camera attached to a power supply or a fully charged battery :shrug:!?
Did mine yesterday, took about 3 mins from putting the card in to doing the upgrade.
Yes, be about 3 minutes.
The rear screen stays illuminated throughout when the file is being written from the CF card to the cameraand a progress bar is shown.
Yes, the fully charged battery is simply a wise precaution.
You don't want anything interrupting the process or you could get left in a fix.
I used a card reader to transfer the update from my PC to the CF card.
If you are unsure about the process download the detailed instructions from the update site. They are well illustrated and easy to follow.
I've upgraded on the theory that any upgrade is worth having, probably a bit naive, but I've not had problems before with Nikon upgrades.
I aint noticed any diffrence on my d3 with the update.
On anything
its ok i got it
AWB seems to be vastly improved !!! I tried it on snow today and it it was almost spot on (still a tad too cold :|). Before the update, I was dialling in appx. 7000K to the manual WB and making do with that, as the AWB always gave a blue hue to snow, under almost any kind of light.
Result !
is it possible for the new firmware to effect the auto focus. dont know if its me but it dose not seem right since i did it and it was perfect before.
will try a few more lenses, only had the lens a few days (24-70) and it has not missed a focus point once and now its missing focus over 50% of the time.
not great light but no probs with it last night.
is it possible to get the old firmware back?
