Nikon has released firmware version 1.20 for its D500 camera. The firmware update, which comes two years after the camera was initially released, adds the ability to connect via Wi-Fi to devices running SnapBridge (version 2.5.4 or later) and fixes a number of additional issues.
Specifically, Nikon says it’s addressed an issue where focusing on the edge of the frame wasn’t accurate, a problem where the camera would sometimes stop working while shooting in continuous high-speed release mode and a bug where the camera would sometimes remain on even after the power button was turned to ‘Off.’
You can download the firmware version 1.20 for the Nikon D500 from Nikon’s website.
