A new firmware update for the V1 and J1 interchangeable lens cameras just went live on Nikon’s website.

This carries the v1.11 designation and according to Nikon’s change log it’s just a minor release meant to fix some issues that were affecting its 1-series snappers.

The problems range from a miss-communication issue with the Speedlight SB-N5 flash, which led to some images being over-exposed by the cameras, to a bug in the previous V1 firmware.

According to Nikon, this bug stopped the camera from functioning properly after switching from framing photos in the monitor to using the electronic viewfinder, or vice versa, with focus mode set to MF (manual focus) and the display zoomed in.

The firmware files can be downloaded from Nikon’s website (V1, J1), but I don’t see much point in upgrading if you haven’t run into any of the issues listed above.
