Nikon D6 Firmware Update Version 1.30 Released

Nikon has released a new firmware update version 1.30 for the new Nikon D6 flagship full frame DSLR camera.

The D6 is Nikon’s first professional DSLR not to offer support for Compact Flash media. Unlike the D5, the D6 will ship with dual XQD / CFExpress card slots. At the heart of the D6 is a 20.8MP sensor, offering the same resolution as the D5, but it’s now coupled with a new Expeed 6 processor and offers up to 14fps burst shooting with ‘E-type’ lenses (those with electromagnetically controlled diaphragms). Switch into live view, and the D6 will shoot silently at up to 10.5fps at full resolution – users can also opt for 30fps for 8MP files and 60fps for 2MP files if needed. The native ISO range covers values of 100 to 102,400, with an expansion range up to 3.2 million.

Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.20 to 1.30

• • A new option, Keep exp. when f/ changes, has been added to the Custom Settings menu at position b8. When Off is selected for ISO sensitivity settings > Auto ISO sensitivity control in the photo shooting menu in mode M, actions such as switching to a lens with a different aperture range may cause unintended changes to aperture. If an option other than Off is selected for Keep exp. when f/ changes, the camera will adjust shutter speed or ISO sensitivity to maintain exposure at its current value.Other actions to which automatic exposure maintenance applies include:
  • – adjusting zoom on lenses that have different values for maximum aperture at maximum and minimum zoom,
  • – attaching a teleconverter, and
  • – changing the focus distance when a micro lens is attached.
• • Changes have been made to improve the reliability of the autofocus operation.
