FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of Nikon’s Current Flagship DSLR camera, the Nikon D6
Another Firmware Update for the Nikon D6 FX DSLR Camera
What is the newest version of firmware for the Nikon D6? The changes from version 1.5 to 1.51 are as follows:
- Taking pictures with [Enable] selected for [Flicker reduction] > [Flicker reduction setting] in the [PHOTO SHOOTING MENU] and aperture stopped down using either a camera control to which depth-of-field preview was assigned or the aperture stop-down button on a PC lens would in rare cases cause the camera to stop responding with “Err” displayed in the top control panel and viewfinder.
- Double-tapping the display to cancel playback zoom would result in the monitor failing to turn off automatically following the delay selected for Custom Setting c4 [Monitor off delay] > [Playback] in the [CUSTOM SETTING MENU].
- Sliding the vibration reduction mode switch on an AI AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED lens from “ON” to “OFF” would disable autofocus on the camera to which the lens was attached.
Nikon D6 3D Auto Focus Tracking Abilities
I wanted to see how the D6 tracked a group of Autocross cars racing straight-on towards me using Nikon's 3D auto focus option. For these photos, I took screen shots with the AF focus points turned on as shown in Nikon NX Studio.
