Hi Fred,

The link to the D4 firmware on the front page is to the old one. This is the link to the new firmware:

FYI, others are reporting an improvement in the clarity of LV's magnified view on the D800/E but I compared and don't see any.

p.3 #5 · p.3 #5 · Nikon issues new firmware for D600, D800 & D4 DSLRs


when the new update is complete how should the firmware version read ?
mine is A-1.05 B-1.03 C-1.004
I have a friend that has 2 D4s
one reads like this - A-1.05 B-1.03 L-1006
And his other D4 reads like this A-1.05 B-1.03 L-1.004
after the update, why is that?

The D800 still interpolates. The exposure preview is what was fixed. The shutter speed no longer affects the screen brightness.

The last bit is 'distortion control data' and the latest version is L-1.006. It can be updated separately:

L is whatever lens is attached to the camera. S is for your speedlight, if you happen to have one attached when you check firmware. Just worry about the A B for camera.

Just curious if I'm completely missing an application/utility of my D4 in the studio, with all this talk of LiveView in the studio. I only use it for macro shots for photography. Am I missing some usefulness of LiveView in the studio? Hope I don't hijack the thread, just curious.

I have the D800E with original firmware A:1.00; B:1.00.

I never updated with the previous firmware version.

Can I go straight to the current update or must I first install the last update version?

Thanks for the help...

DorkSterr - Is that "Yes, I can go straight to the current version" or "Yes, I must first install the last update."?

Btw does your D800 suffer from the green tint in your LCD?

I didn't think so until I just ran the update and took a few test shots of my white wall.

It does seem improved!

I have the D800 and the D800E, The live view feature is top notch! Thanks Nikon! Now I can better focus my lenses on the faint stars with much better ease before taking astrophotos. So far I am very happy with the results. Can't wait to get out and really shoot something....

You guys/gals keep posting about your comparisons and your findings.

I upgraded yesterday. I don't know if my mind was playing tricks on me with the green tint being gone on the LCD. I haven't had time to do a side by side with my d7000. Has anyone else confirmed the green tint is gone by using another camera?
