Nikon D3 Firmware Updates!

Features, Fixes

Modifications Enabled with upgrade of A and B firmware from ver. 1.00 to ver.1.10:

• A Vignette Control item has been added to the Shooting Menu. For information regarding supported lenses, see the supplemental manual.

• A Focus Point Brightness item has been added to the a6: Focus point illumination setting in the Autofocus category of Custom Settings.

• The Highlights playback display option has been moved from Display mode > Basic photo info > Highlights in the playback menu to Display mode > Detailed photo info > Highlights.

• When shutter speed and/or aperture are locked with shooting in live view mode, using the “L” (command lock) button, an “L” icon is now displayed in the camera monitor.

• The size and color of Demo displayed in the monitor with playback, when No memory card? in the Custom Settings is set to Enable release, have been modified.

• The range of settings available for ISO sensitivity settings > ISO sensitivity auto control > Minimum shutter speed in the shooting menu has been increased from 1/250 to one second to 1/4000 to one second.

• When a compatible Speedlight or Wireless Speedlight Commander is used, the AF assist illuminator now lights regardless of the focal length.

• When shooting in hand-held live view mode and the frame is magnified prior to autofocusing, operation has been modified so that display returns to the magnified display rather than full-frame display.

• In some rare cases, the image area visible through the viewfinder and the image area actually recorded differed when Image area > Choose image area in the shooting menu was set to DX format (24×16). This issue has been resolved.

• In some rare cases, white balance was not accurately calculated for images captured at a shutter speed of around 1/4 s in P and A exposure modes. This issue has been resolved.

• When attempting to crop images at an aspect ratio of 4:3 using the Trim option in the retouch menu, the cropped image did not have an accurate 4:3 aspect ratio. This issue has been resolved.

Mac Clones again?

Mac Clones? Do you remember the days when apple had clones? Power computing were one of the major players in clone wars. Now its Psystar! They are offering a mac for $399

* 2GB of DDR2 667 memory

The highly extensible Open Computer is a configuration of PC hardware capable of running unmodified OS X Leopard kernels. If you purchase Leopard with your Open Computer we will not only include the actual Leopard retail package with genuine installation disc, but we also include a Psystar restore disc for your Open Computer and we will preinstall Leopard for free so you can begin to use your computer right out of the box.

At the moment Psystar site is quiet slow. Probably due to all the press they are getting. Do check it out. Interesting that there are Mac clones again!
