Apart from the Nikon, and my wife's Olympus C310, I have only had Canon, and apart from the Powershot 170, never had a digital.The rest have been AE1 Programs and a T90. I used to do my own developing and printing, but those days have long gone.
Anyhow, having just about plumbed the depths of the Menu, I found the Firmware section.
Against the C which I believe stands for current, the version is 1.00.
Against the L it's 1.006.
I looked on the Nikon website, and found the firmware versions for the D600. See below:
• This service supplies software that can be used to update the D600 camera “C” firmware to version 1.04. Before proceeding, select Firmware version in the camera SETUP MENU and check the camera firmware version. You will not need to download or install this update if the firmware listed above is already installed.
• This update includes all changes made in previous updates.
• Read the information below before proceeding.
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.03 to 1.04
• The SETUP MENU > Time zone and date > Time zone display now shows only the names of major cities in the currently selected zone.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in over-application of distortion control in pictures taken with an AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lens at a focal length of 10 mm and with FX (36x24) 1.0x selected for Image area > Choose image area, Off selected for Image area > Auto DX crop, and On selected for Auto distortion control in the SHOOTING MENU.
Changes from Previous Versions
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.02 to 1.03
• Added support for the following features of AF-P lenses:
- If the standby timer expires after the camera has focused, the focus position will not change when the timer is reactivated.
- In manual focus mode, the focus indicator in the viewfinder (or in live view, the focus point selected in the monitor) will flash to show that infinity or the minimum focus distance has been reached by rotating the focus ring.
• Added support for AF-P DX lenses.
• Fixed the following issues:
- Optimal exposure would sometimes not be achieved in photos taken in live view using a lens with electromagnetically controlled aperture (type E lenses).
- When used to take pictures after an option was selected for Custom Setting d10 (Exposure delay mode) in the CUSTOM SETTING MENU, Camera Control Pro 2 would sometimes display the error “The camera was not able to take a picture” despite having actually taken the picture.
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.01 to 1.02
• Added support for auto distortion control data version L:2.000. Update the camera firmware before updating the auto distortion control data to version L:2.000 or later.
I have downloaded the instructions,and Version 1.04.
re the AutoDistortion control, this is greyed out in my menu - "this option is not available at current settings or in camera's current state"
I took the SD card out and looked at the contents, and there is a greyed folder called .fseventsd (which I suspect contains the firmware), a DCIM and a NIKON001.DSC. I assume these are all in the root directory of the SD card
The serial number of the camera is 6032451.
Is there anything I should be made aware of before I take the plunge?
