Nikon Releases D70 SLR Firmware Updates

Nikon USA (and other Nikon offices) have today posted two D70 firmware updates which should both be applied to bring your camera up to current 1.02 revision level.

The A firmware version 1.01 corrects:

  • Images captured in Continuous mode at high shutter speeds sometimes displayed vignetting in upper portions of the image. This problem has been corrected.
  • When the built-in Speedlight was in its raised position but did not fire, the Automatic Sensitivity Adjustment function (ISO Auto: CSM 5) sometimes failed. This problem has been corrected.
The B firmware version 1.02 corrects:
  • The camera now supports CompactFlash? memory cards with a capacity greater than 4GB.
  • When images were captured in Continuous mode at an Image size setting of M and an Image quality setting of FINE, the memory card access lamp sometimes glowed continuously and the camera could not be turned off with the power switch. This problem has been corrected.
  • Text errors in display of Chinese menus and messages have been corrected
