Nikon D70 firmware update

Angelo

for my fellow Nikonians:

Hi everyone. I have a question for which I can't find a clear answer on the Nikon site. I thought I'd get a faster response here.

> I updated my D70 once and currently have firmware versions A1.01 and B1.03. I just checked the Nikon site to learn that version "2" is now available for download and update.

My questions:
A) did I miss any updates since my last download and
can I go directly to v2 if I missed earlier updates?

Aww, you got me all excited! I'm dying for a NEW new firmware upgrade for the NR... Version 2.0 has been available since about April of this year.

Apparently, the way Nikon wants you to install the latest version is 2.0 in A and version 2.0 in B. Dunno why, but this is how I have it and you DEFINITELY notice the difference because the whole menu is re-designed. And slick, too! You CAN go directly to V2, I know for a fact because I went straight to V2.0 from V1.01...

Good luck!

Hey Matthew thanks a bunch - (it's because A & B address different aspects of onboard computer operations in the camera.)

Based on your response I think you've answered my question for me. Were you at A1.01 & B1.03 when you upgraded to v2?

When I upgraded my camera, it was un-firmwared since the day I bougt it, which was less than a month after they first hit the shelves. So, maybe I went from A1.01 &B1.01, if that's possible. If you had to install B1.03, then that's what I didn't do and I went straight to 2.0 in both slots.

Cool, I'll have to give it a shot too.

I got a response from Nikon which confirms your answer Matthew. V2 is the latest and only update since 1.03 and OK for me to download. Thanks.
