Nikon today released updated firmware in all its regions for the D70. The firmware is user updatable and fixes the following issues.
Issues addressed with A firmware version 1.01
– Images captured in Continuous mode at high shutter speeds sometimes displayed vignetting in upper portions of the image. This problem has been corrected.
– When the built-in Speedlight was in its raised position but did not fire, the Automatic Sensitivity Adjustment function (ISO Auto: CSM 5) sometimes failed. This problem has been corrected.
Issues addressed with B firmware version 1.02
– The camera now supports CompactFlash™ memory cards with a capacity greater than 4GB.
– When images were captured in Continuous mode at an Image size setting of M and an Image quality setting of FINE, the memory card access lamp sometimes glowed continuously and the camera could not be turned off with the power switch. This problem has been corrected.
– Text errors in display of Chinese menus and messages have been corrected
American copy of the firmware here. European users will have to register with the Nikon site and then enter the camera serial number. Once this is done you will see the files in the support site. People on the forums say that the firmware files are identical regardless of the country you get them from.
