Nikon's logo. Click to visit the Nikon website! Nikon P100 / S8100 firmware, D90 / D5000 distortion control data

Nikon Inc. has issued two new firmware updates for its Coolpix P100 and Coolpix S8100 digital cameras, as well as distortion control data updates for the Nikon D90 and Nikon D5000 digital SLRs.

Nikon P100 firmware v1.1 makes several changes to Nikon's ten megapixel, 26x megazoom, including one new feature. With the latest firmware, it's now possible to enable the Nikon P100's distortion control and auto bracketing features simultaneously. Four bugs have also been squashed in the update. A problem with white balance in Night Landscape scene mode when using continuous shooting has been corrected, and the camera also no longer displays an error message when the Menu button is pressed after powering on in Playback mode, with the Mode dial in the User position. Also fixed are a problem where the optical zoom would stop functioning if zooming to telephoto and then immediately reversing zoom direction, and a failure of the underexposure blink warning when manually adjusting shutter speed.

The Nikon S8100 firmware v1.1, meanwhile, corrects one bug in the twelve megapixel, 10x zoom digital camera's operation. In Playback mode, the sequence display function of the previous version of firmware would incorrectly show only the key picture for series shots when set to single pictures display, if the image series was captured after the settings change was made. This has now been fixed in the latest Nikon S8100 firmware.

The firmware for each camera can be downloaded from Nikon's website, on the Coolpix P100 v1.1 firmware and Coolpix S8100 v1.1 firmware download pages respectively.

Finally, the Nikon D90 and Nikon D5000 both get updates to their distortion control data, improving the barrel and pincushion distortion correction capabilities that are available at capture time, and in playback mode. In full, the list of compatible lenses for distortion correction on these cameras with the distortion control data v1.002 update applied is as below. The update is available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
