Just saw in Nikonrumors that someone in Germany bought a D700 which had V1.03 firmware update. The nikonusa site still shows the old one since 2010.

Did you try to follow the link?

Maybe, the poster had a D7000, D Seven Thousand, unless a service test camera escaped.

Check out Nikonrumors. It is a D700 and it was posted in a German forum.

Indeed he has A 1.03.

As long as it is not a "malfunction", I think we will see an update shortly.

I have just received an e-mail from Nikon Europe advising me that a Firmware Upgrade for the D700 is now available. This will give Firmware Version A = 1.03, B = 1.02.

I have downloaded the .exe file and update instructions from the Nikon Europe site.

I can confirm Railcams posting, I had an email from Nikon UK advising me of a firmware update: A 1.03 and B 1.02.

I have downloaded and installed without any problems during and after.

Also just received an email about the update.

Does anyone know what the update is for? I heard it was because there was a bug causing underexposure problems. I dont think ive had that problem, but surely there must be more to the update than that??

Yes underexposure fix.
Updated mine today as the nice people at Nikon Europe informed me (as a registered user) that it was available.

Very cool & great info! I noticed underexposure problems on my last shoot - about every 8 to 10 frames .5 to 1.5 stops under, but my glass was malfunctioning at the time, so I wasn't sure if the UE was from the lens or the camera. I will update the firmware tonight. Worth noting, there are primary fixes in firmware updates, but there are also secondary fixes to "smaller" lesser known bugs that aren't always disclosed. So consider always getting the update whether you're experiencing the "fixed" problem or not.

Hi everybody!

I just received a notice from Nikon Europe about new FW update from A1.02 to A 1.03.
B FW has not been changed.

I downloaded the FW and updated my D700, no issues whatsoever.
What I would suggest is that you save your settings prior to updating the FW and to load the same setting into D700 after updating. Just in case...

I also noticed an underexposure on my D700 a couple of times, no big issue, I hope that now the exposure will be even more consistent.

I find Nikon policy about updating the FW on "old" cameras after a new model (D800) has been released, a good customer care policy.

Thank you Nikon!

Niko

Nikonusa still shows the old update. I wonder if we can download the Europe version?

Just D/L 1.03 from NikonUSA site. However, I believe the manual updates are for the 1.02 version.

Just came out today then.

I just got it. According to the binary file software properties it was created April 25, 2012.

I had the MB-D10 grip on the camera and had to take it off. Interestingly, the camera said it couldn't update with the grip batteries (even though they were fully charged).

Can I update 1.01 directly to 1.03 or do I need to update to 1.02 first?

Thanks,
Vlad.

Vladimir, I can't see anything in the NikonUSA website that says you need to have 1.02, but you might want to do it in that sequence (I don't even know if you can find the 1.02 version now) just to be safe.

Hi Tom.

I had no such problems with my MB-D10 grip but I had an enel4 battery in mine.

Note that only the A firmware needs updating.

JIM

Where shall I download the new firmware from for my camera been bought in Hong Kong?

Thanks

http://help.nikon.ca/app/answers/detail/a_id/17803/kw/D700

I just downloaded and updated my firmware with A1.03 and B1.02 (same as the old firmware). I had no problem updating with my MB-D10 attached (both camera and grip running EN-EL3e fully charged).

The important things in life are simple; the simple things are hard.

Just FYI, there is a misprint on the Nikon USA website...that refers to the upgrade as D7000 in item 4. But, it's just that, so don't worry. I tried to call Nikon and alert them, but after too many numbered options, I quit.

Hi Ed.

I saw that as well and had to read everything again from the top before I downloaded the update, just to be sure.

JIM

I wish they would give a little better description of the fix it is for than just "fixes some rare underexposure issue". Basically I would like to see that to read as when using "A" mode (or what ever mode)this fixes a potential metering problem causing underexposure in mixed lighting situations.
