Nikon D4S Camera Firmware C:1.20 Description

Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.10:

- Commander mode can now be selected for Custom Setting e3 (Optional flash) when an optional SB-500 flash unit is attached.
- The Auto and Flash white-balance options can now be used with the LED light on the optional SB-500 flash unit.
- Auto white balance is now more consistent.
- There is no longer a limit on the number of shots that can be taken in a single burst at shutter speeds of 4 s or faster when a continuous-release mode is selected in exposure mode S or M.
- There is no longer a limit on how long the shutter can remain open when “Time” is selected for shutter speed.
- We have changed how focus points are displayed in the viewfinder if the camera is rotated between “wide” (landscape) and “tall” (portrait) orientations with Focus point and AF-area mode selected for Custom Setting a10 (Store by orientation) and different focus points chosen in each orientation.
- We have also changed how focus points are displayed in the viewfinder if a lens focus function button is pressed with AF-area mode selected for Custom Setting f19 (Lens focus function buttons).
- Some help text has been changed.

The following issues have been resolved:

- If the user focused using the AF-ON button before shooting in continuous-release mode, the frame rate would drop under the following conditions: AF-S selected for focus mode, Single-point AF selected for AF-area mode, Focus selected for Custom Setting a2 (AF-S priority selection), and AF-ON only selected for Custom Setting a4 (AF activation).
- When an AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E lens was attached, “Err” would be displayed in the top control panel and pictures could not be taken under some exposure conditions.
- Images would sometimes fail to display correctly during image review if playback zoom was used while the memory-card access lamp was lit.
- Images would not clear from the display if an optional WR-1 wireless remote controller was used with On selected for Image review in the playback menu.
- The camera photo info display would not show the correct range for pictures taken with an optional flash unit in distance-priority manual flash mode (GN).
- When pictures taken using a PC-E lens were viewed in Capture NX-D and other Nikon software, the Metadata would list the lens as type E rather than type D.
- The photo information display for movies, movie stills, and photos taken with the Silent shutter-release option would sometimes list incorrect values for shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity.
- If the camera was connected via HDMI to 4K a compatible TV, neither the camera nor the television would display menus correctly.
- Volume sometimes could not be adjusted if indicators were hidden during movie playback.
- If both XQD and CompactFlash cards were inserted in the camera when it was connected to a computer, the computer would not recognize the XQD card.

- Using a card slot or card reader, copy “D4S_0120.bin” to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera.
- Insert the memory card into the camera’s primary slot and turn the camera on.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
