Nikon D2X、D2Hs、D200 V2.0 版韌體釋出及更新嚇一跳

各大相機論壇正火熱的討論，像是 dpreview ...

小弟的D2X韌體第一次是到日本NIKON網站下的，結果升A韌體時，竟然出現升級失敗！嚇了我一大跳！

嚇得我跑到 美國 Nikon去抓，這下子總算一次 OK！
至於為何在日本下的韌體會出錯，小弟可沒勇氣拿我的D2X再試一次，成功更新好了。

個人覺得對小弟比較重要的更新有：

對焦速度改善（雖然已經夠快的了）
增加黑白模式
修正增加GPS寫入EXIF中的資訊（小弟也有MC-35）
可一次LOAD三組曲線
可將設定匯出匯入
增加原始影像驗證功能（或許對小弟的工作有所助益）


當然還有其他好玩或重大的更新，詳細的更新項目如下：
