Nikon D3x with the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens

These are very limited firmware updates but it’s good to know that Nikon is still caring about their legacy DSLR cameras, at least currently. I have owned and used both of these cameras and they are both DSRL perfected. I would have stayed with the D6 but the shutter was too loud!

The following changes have been included in the updates:

The flagship Nikon D6 (version 1.70):

• Fixed an issue that would in rare instances result in photos recorded overexposed when [Recall shooting functions (hold)] was assigned to a control and used during shooting.

The D780 (version 1.20):

Fixed an issue where black band shaped fog could appear in photos taken when all the following conditions were met:

• - In photo live view.

• - [On] was selected for silent live view photography.

• - Aperture was set near the minimum aperture (highest f-number) in mode M or A.
