Nikon continues the functionality of its DSLR cameras, the D6 and D780, via fresh firmware upgrades.
In a move to enhance the performance of their DSLR cameras, Nikon has released new firmware updates for the Nikon D6 and D780. These updates, Version 1.70 for the D6 and Version 1.20 for the D780, address specific issues that affect shooting reliability and image quality.
For the Nikon D6, the update specifically targets a rare issue that caused photos to be recorded overexposed when the Recall shooting functions (hold) was assigned to a control and used during shooting. This problem has now been addressed, ensuring that your photos will be captured with the correct exposure.
On the other hand, the Nikon D780 update addresses an image quality problem that could cause a black band-shaped fog to appear in photos taken under specific conditions. These conditions include active Photo Live View, Silent Live View Photography set to On, and an aperture set near the minimum aperture (highest f-number) in modes M or A. This issue has also been resolved, ensuring that your photos remain clear and free of unwanted artifacts.
These updates are not revolutionary, but they are targeted refinements that reflect Nikon's continued commitment to supporting their DSLR camera users, even years after launch. While mirrorless cameras may rely heavily on software and receive major feature updates after launch, DSLRs like the D6 and D780 are more mechanical, leaving less room for dramatic changes.
In conclusion, these updates ensure that the Nikon D6 and D780 continue to perform at their best, providing photographers with the reliability and image quality they have come to expect from Nikon. Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, these updates are a testament to Nikon's dedication to delivering the best possible photography experience.
