Nikon outs firmware upgrade for D3200

Nikon has recently released a firmware update for their current entry-level offering – D3200 which addresses the reported concerns when using its feature called Wireless Mobility Utility along with other minor and missteps.

Here’s the list of things that C:1.01 brings to the D3200:

• The following functions have been changed with shooting using the Wireless Mobile Utility.
> When the camera’s shooting mode is set to Auto or Auto (flash off), it now operates in Auto or Auto (flash off) mode. Prior to this upgrade, the camera functioned in [P] (Programmed auto) exposure mode.
> Live view can now be initiated even when the camera is set to “Auto” or “No flash” in GUIDE mode.
• In some very rare cases when certain memory cards were used, movie recording would stop, even when the time remaining display indicated remaining recording time. This issue has been resolved.
• In some very rare cases, colors would change with shooting when white balance was set to a specific color temperature, as with Preset manual or Incandescent. This issue has been resolved.

Just to give a you bit of a background about the Nikon Wireless Mobility Utility, it’s a feature included in some newer models of Nikon dSLR cameras which allows user to remotely control the camera from a support mobile device (smartphone and tablets) through a downloadable app in App Store and Google Play Store.
