A bit about me

Posted December 6, 2024Dec 6

I have been diving for over twenty years. Plenty of dive tickets under PADI, BSAC, TDI, ITDA. Being retired I aim for around 100 sea dives a year.
In the UK I am frequently found on board the dive boats: Clasina, Honeydew, Huskyan and Valhalla. My main interest these days is to make diving videos.

There is a You tube channel to be found under my name Ian Hicks

TimG · June 30Jun 30

A firmware update is available from the Nikon Download Center/Centre for the Nikon Z6III. This is an update to v1.11 from v 1.10. As far as I can see, the update, in keeping with a dot.xx version, is minor and no super-dooper new features are involved. The link is here: https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/564.html
