Nikon USA has today posted updated version of its Capture NX and Camera Control Pro software on its support website.
Available for both Windows and Mac OS users, Nikon Capture NX 2.1.1 includes a number of updates, which are mostly shared across both platforms. A couple of points are unique to specific platforms though - the Mac OS version does add support for OS X 10.5.5, while two other items in the list provided by Nikon below are Windows-only fixes: Support for RAW images captured with the D3X has been added. When images containing GPS information captured with another manufacturer's digital camera were opened, GPS information was not displayed. This issue has been resolved. When RAW images captured with another manufacturer's lens and the camera's Vignette control item in the shooting menu set to any option other than Off were opened, Capture NX 2 sometimes froze. This issue has been resolved. When attempting to open 1-bit monochrome TIFF (LZW) images, Capture NX 2 quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved. When attempting to open some images saved in NEF format using Nikon Capture or Capture NX Ver. 1.x, Capture NX 2 quit unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved. When images were opened in Capture NX 2 Ver. 2.0.0 or Ver. 2.0.1 with which optional Picture Controls were not installed, and image Picture Control setting was modified and then a settings file saved, Picture Control settings were not accurately reflected when the settings file was applied to images later opened in Capture NX 2 Ver. 2.1.0 with which optional Picture Controls were installed. This issue has been resolved. When attempting to save enhancements applied to images in some system environments, the enhancements were not saved. This issue has been resolved. When multiple images were opened and white balance adjusted for each image using the Set Gray Point option under White Balance in the Camera Settings palette, an error message was displayed when clicking on the image after clicking the Start button. This issue has been resolved. (Windows only) When Color Noise Reduction under Noise Reduction was adjusted and the image saved in NEF format, Color Noise Reduction effects were removed when the image was again opened and the Noise Reduction check box unchecked and then checked again when logged in to a Windows user account with a user name containing 2-byte characters. This issue has been resolved. (Windows only) Support for Mac OS X 10.5.5 has been added. (Mac OS only)
Nikon Camera Control Pro v2.4.0 meanwhile is also available in Windows and Mac OS variants. In both cases, the update adds support for the recently announced Nikon D3X digital SLR, along with several platform-specific changes that include the addition of support for Mac OS X 10.5.5 and the removal of support for the legacy Windows 2000 OS: - Support for the D3X has been added.
In some rare cases, when images with file sizes of 14 MB or larger were transferred, the transferred images were corrupted. This issue has been resolved. (Windows only) Windows 2000 is no longer supported. (Windows only) Time lapse photography was not terminated when the destination disk became full. This issue has been resolved. (Mac OS only) After shooting using the Shoot or AF and Shoot button with the D2H, the Camera Control Pro window failed to respond. This issue has been resolved. (Mac OS only) Changes made to D50 Custom Settings from the Camera Control Pro 2 Custom Settings dialog were not recognized by the camera. This issue has been resolved. (Mac OS only) Support for Mac OS X version 10.5.5 has been added. (Mac OS only)
