D810 firmware

• This service supplies software that can be used to update the D810 camera “C” firmware to version 1.14. Before proceeding, select Firmware version in the camera SETUP MENU and check the camera firmware version. You will not need to download or install this update if the firmware listed above is already installed. • This update includes all changes made in previous updates. • Read the information below before proceeding.

Notice

• The D810 “C” firmware can be upgraded directly from version 1.00 to version 1.14 with no adverse effects. While updating to this version reduces the bright spots customers have noticed in long exposures, it does require that an imaging adjustment be performed by a Nikon-authorized service representative. This update also reduces the bright spots that have been noted in photographs taken with 1.2× selected for image area.
