Modifications enabled with B firmware Ver. 1.03

An error where the card may not have been recognized when some memory cards were used has been addressed.
The following issues occurred when the mode dial was rotated from U1 or U2 to another shooting mode or from another shooting mode to U1 or U2 when the power was off or when the exposure meters are off (Auto meter-off). These issues were resolved.

A new folder is sometimes created despite the fact that the current folder does not yet contain 999 files and none of the files are numbered “9999”.
The number of remaining exposures may not be displayed as specified in the settings.
The setting for "Role played by card in Slot 2" may change between "Overflow", "Backup", and "RAW Slot 1- JPEG Slot 2".
An issue where "Battery info" in the setup menu sometimes showed sufficient remaining charge even when the remaining charge for the AA batteries inserted in the MB-D11 battery pack was low has been resolved.
An issue where a saved photo may not have been displayed properly when a movie was displayed in playback mode while saving the photo has been resolved.
An issue where zoom in or zoom out may not have performed properly when the playback zoom in or playback zoom out button was pressed while in Live view has been resolved.
The message displayed when the internal memory of the Wireless Transmitter WT-4 is formatted from the "Format transmitter's memory" under "Device settings" in "Wireless transmitter" of the camera’s setup menu was changed from "Done" to "Built-in memory formatted".

I have done the upgrade and now my Sigma 24-70 won't work on the camera ( it is the last of the pre HSM lenses).
Will be ringing C.R.Kennedy in the morning for a rechip.

Pretty common thing with the sigmas by the looks of things, google presents lots of cases where sigma lens needed re-chipping or firmware upgrade. That said, not much out there on the D7000 firmware tripping this issue.

a interesting thought is that if Nikon wanted to be a royal pain in the ass they could do this every upgrade and really piss off the sigma owners...

[J.Davis]

Bad news - the lens can't be re-chiped, am now trying to find out whether I can undo the upgrade.

[surenj]

the lens can't be re-chiped

Shikes! What a royal pain! I always worry about my Tamron cheapie lens when I do firmware stuff (which is why I don't much firmware upgrades)

I suppose what I should do no is try all my lenses on Gerry's D7000 before I update mine (since I don't seem to be having any of the problems listed in the firmware update release notes).

I rang C.R.Kennedy and found no luck with my particular lens, having said that I now have a different problem in that both my non motor lenses (Nikon and Sigma) do not work on my camera - nikon said that this shouldn't happen and ring them tomorrow for a talk with a tech. BTW my motor in the lens lenses work as advertised, and I have gone back to the original firmware.

Ahh - I'd assumed you'd already upgraded...

[Jenno]

D800 surely

I definitely recommend this update, i had a few strange issues with teh SD slots the other day, where somehow the slots got swapped around - i think all the images are still there :/, not quite what is described in the fix, but will see if it happens again.

are you still on the old firmware? did you get any resolution on your sigma lens?
