Nikon ZF firmware V2.0 any issues?

[jduncan]

Hi,
As you are aware firmware V2 was released by Nikon.
It contains a plethora of new features and fixes.

The two I am more interested in are the bird AF and the rational configuration of the ISO dial.

Has anyone installed it? any issues you have found?

Thanks!!

I installed it a couple of days ago and the camera is operating exactly the same as it did beforehand – but I don't use video or any of the special focussing features. For the work I do I keep it simple and as much like using a 1990s SLR as possible. Typically I use a single focussing point, auto ISO and RAW capture. I normally keep the lens set at f8, snd the shutter speed at 1/125 - 1/500 sec unless light levels are poor, when I rely on the stabilisation to go down as far as ⅛ sec for static subjects to keep the ISO within limits.

Hi,
Thanks. I am mostly interested in the new interface for the ISO. I have heard nothing catastrophic.
I am planning to install it tomorrow.
Best regards,

As you may know, there's a new firmware released last May I guess, the 2.01, which fixes an issue that would cause the camera to stop responding or to display error messages when on a couple of settings.
