D70 Firmware update 2.0 for Windows
Nikon have released new firmware version 2 for the D70 this was
announced in April and can now be downloaded. Several improvements have been
made notable to the 5 area autofocus system, I think this is a must for all D70
owners.
What is new/Content Description
Issues addressed with firmware version 2.0
- Performance of the 5-area AF system has
been improved (Dynamic area and Closest subject AF-area modes).
Changes have been made to the design of menu displays.
- Page-size settings can now be applied from
the camera with direct printing from a PictBridge-compatible printer.
- The number of exposures remaining,
displayed in the control panel and viewfinder, when shooting at an
image-quality setting of NEF (RAW) or NEF+JPEG Basic has been changed (the
number is calculated based on the size of compressed RAW file).
Maximum number of exposures displayed when a 256-MB CompactFlash memory card
is used:
Version 2.00: NEF (RAW): approx. 44 exposures; NEF+JPEG Basic: approx. 39
exposures
Version 1.03 or earlier: NEF (RAW): approx. 23 exposures; NEF+JPEG Basic:
approx. 21 exposures
- The default setting for camera clock has
been changed from 2004.01.01 to 2005.01.01. Now you cannot set the clock
back to a date before 2004.12.31.
- A problem that sometimes caused
communication between the camera and computer to be unexpectedly terminated
when using Nikon Capture Camera Control has been corrected. (Windows)
