Nikon has released firmware version 1.2 for the Nikon Coolpix P6000 digital camera. Available now via Nikon USA's support website, the update corrects a number of issues.

Modifications enabled with version 1.2 firmware:

  • When shooting in a user setting mode at an image quality setting of NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic and Distortion control enabled, some JPEG images were corrupted. This issue has been resolved.
  • As distortion control cannot be used in conjunction with interval timer shooting, settings have been modified so that they cannot be enabled simultaneously.
  • Electric current consumption has been reduced.
  • When shooting in P, S, A, or M mode at an image size setting other than 13M 4224 x 3168 and an image quality setting of NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic, the image size setting switched to 13M 4224 x 3168 when the camera was turned off and then turned on again. This issue has been resolved.
