During the month of July this year we announced that Nikon was working to develop new 2.x firmware for its SLR (SLR) D200, D2Hs and D2X. The main improvement of these new concerns firmware features support for image authentication introduced in the latest high-end reflex Nikon, the D2Xs. This function called "Image Authentication" ensures the authenticity of a photograph that is to say if it has been modified or tricked since taking. For that, this function must of course be enabled and supported by the camera and it is also necessary to use a specific software developed by Nikon, which analyzes photos and probably a digital signature included in the files (JPEG, TIFF and NEF / RAW).
Apart from the image authentication, the new 2.x firmware adds numerous other enhancements primarily for the D2Hs and D2X (see list). Regarding the D200, the only support for the base-Fil without Wi-Fi WT-3 is also added by the new firmware. The latter, version 2.0.0, is the first of these three firmware to be proposed by Nikon. The firmware 2.0.0 for the D2X and D2Hs should, however, further delay and Nikon provide in all cases to publish before the end of the year.
In addition, the software Camera Control and Capture Pro has been updated to version 1.1.1, respectively, and 4.4.2. Camera Control Pro 1.1.1 adds support for the recently announced D80 SLR, as well as support for D2X SLR D2Hs and modified with their future firmware 2.0.0. Capture 4.4.2 also provides compatibility with both firmware and various other improvements such as better compatibility with the software files Camera Control Pro.
Once the firmware 2.0.0 for Nikon D2Hs and D2X available, we will keep you abreast of course.
