Nikon not too long ago launched a firmware replace for its D3100, D3200, D5100, D5200, and P7700 cameras that maximized battery efficiency and allowed the digicam to extra precisely inform you how a lot cost you’ve left. Nevertheless it appears there was an unintended (or perhaps not so unintended) side-effect: third social gathering batteries not work.
Not less than that’s the story many customers are telling Nikon Rumors, who broke the information final evening. It appears that evidently, after the replace, third social gathering variations of the EN-EL14 and 14a are not suitable with any of the fashions listed above, an comprehensible (if annoying) side-effect provided that the replace needed to do with the battery within the first place.
The problem, as many customers see it, is that Nikon didn’t point out this within the change log (though, to be truthful, it’s attainable they didn’t know this might occur). Sadly, customers who’ve downloaded and put in the replace are out of luck for the foreseeable future, as Nikon doesn’t present hyperlinks to earlier variations of its firmware.
This goes with out saying, however should you haven’t up to date and you employ third social gathering batteries, we advise you maintain off. If, alternatively, you’ve already run the replace, preserve checking again and we’ll make sure you let you understand if and when Nikon decides to resolve this drawback.
