Nikon Updates D3 Firmware

Translate Into:

nikon-d3.jpg

Nikon's flagship camera and object of desire for flash-phobic photographers everywhere has received a few fixes and new features in a firmware update.

The "big" additions are focus point brightness control (you can choose how bright the squares are in the viewfinder), lens vignetting control (which will automatically compensate for light drop-off at the image edges, tailored to the lens you are using), and the auto ISO function now lets you select shutter speeds as high as 1/4000 sec as the minimum.

Other than that, there are a few changes which show that Nikon engineers have really been sweating the (pointless) details.:

When shutter speed and/or aperture are locked with shooting in live view mode, using the “L” (command lock) button, an “L” icon is now displayed in the camera monitor.

The update is a free download for Mac and PC
