Nov 8th, 2005
- Nikon has today released a firmware upgrade for the Nikon D2X and the Nikon D2Hs digital SLR's. The Nikon D2X and the D2Hs firmware update version 1.0.1 is essentially the same for both cameras and provides quite a few updates, including AF performance.

Nikon D2X Digital SLR


Nikon D2X Firmware Update 1.0.1 - Windows

What is new in version 1.0.1

  • Autofocus performance has been enhanced.

  • An issue that prevented the AF-assist illuminator from firing when the Speedlights listed below were used has been corrected. Speedlights effected: SB-29s, SB-29, SB-23, SB-22s, SB-22, SB-20

  • In images captured at a shutter speed of 1/250 s with a Speedlight SB-800, set to Distance-priority manual flash (GN), or Manual flash (M) with flash output set to full (M1/1) mounted on the camera, the top portion was often dark. This issue has been addressed. However, under the circumstances described above only, the guide number is reduced from that of full flash output level by approximately 0.6 EV.

  • Images captured at white-balance settings of Incandescent, Direct sunlight, Cloudy, Shade, and Choose color temp. tended to have a reddish tint. This issue has been addressed.

  • Errors in Dutch menus have been corrected.
