Nikon Releases Firmware Version 1.01 for the D850 DSLR Camera

Nikon has released firmware version 1.01 for the D850. This update will address the following issues:

• Users exiting Clean image sensor after adding it to and entering via MY MENU would be returned not to MY MENU but to the SETUP MENU.
• Photos taken with On selected for Long exposure NR would sometimes have increased noise or shadows with a greenish cast.
• Slight aperture reset lag would sometimes occur after shooting at shutter speeds under 1/10 s (type E and PC-E lenses excluded).

The firmware can be downloaded using either Windows or Mac OS. The file will work when opened using the following Windows versions: Windows 10 (Home, Pro, or Enterprise), Windows 8.1 (Basic, Pro, or Enterprise), and Windows 7 (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate). On the other hand, it will work with the following Mac OS: High Sierra version 10.13, Sierra version 10.12, OS X 10.11.6, OS X 10.10.5, OS X 10.9.5, OS X 10.8.5, OS X 10.7.5, and OS X 10.6.8.

To update the D850 firmware using Microsoft Windows:

1) Create a folder on the computer hard disk and name it as desired.
2) Download F-D850-V101W.exe to the folder created in Step 1.
3) Run F-D850-V101W.exe to extract the following file to a folder named “D850Update”:

4) Using a card slot or card reader, copy “D850_0101.bin” to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera.
5) Insert the memory card into the camera slot currently selected as the primary slot and turn the camera on.
