Nikon D3 Has an Issue with New Firmware v1.10

Mr. Galbraith noted today here. Just a friendly reminder from one of your Canon buddies.

The download link has been pulled already, so you can't get it if you don't have it already. Nikon is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, which should be available by the end of the month.

The problem occurs only under specific circumstances, and then only very infrequently. I would guess that even with the faulty firmware, most people wouldn't even notice.

The issue occurs when shooting long bursts (14 to 16 frames at a time, or in this range) under 14-bit NEF. One frame may result in a pixel shift affecting the image coding at the pre-RAW level. I've only been able to replicate this once after trying about a dozen times.

Updated firmware now available on Nikon USA site to correct the previously flawed updated. New version is v1.11.

Minus the D3X sneak peak!
