Recently we reported how the new update for Nikon D3 causes image corruption and Nikon now confirms this. According to the statement Nikon admits that image data in “rare cases” may get “corrupted” and have hence “terminated the firmware update download.” Those who have downloaded the firmware are requested not to use the following combination:

• Release mode: Continuous high speed (CH), or Continuous low speed (CL) with Custom Setting d2 set to 9 fps

• Image area: FX format (36x24) or 5:4 (30x24)

• Image quality: NEF (RAW) or NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine/normal/basic

• NEF (RAW) recording>NEF (RAW) bit depth: 14-bit

* The issue related to NEF (RAW) recording > NEF (RAW) bit depth may occur regardless of the option selected for NEF (RAW) recording > Type (Lossless compressed, Compressed, or Uncompressed).

Rob Galbraith is reporting that the newly released firmware v1.10 for the Nikon D3 causes photo corruption. This bug has been faced by a number of D3 users who report that their images suffer from a peculiar offset ghost image phenomenon. The corruption is in the JPEG, the NEF and the preview JPEG inside the NEF.

Nikon USA, Lexar and SanDisk have been notified by Galbraith and for now don’t hit the update button and download  v1.10. Keep watching this space for more updates.
