uous shooting. Firmware A/B Version 1.11 is a follow-up to the more major firmware update, version 1.10.



Version 1.10 updated the following, as listed by Nikon:


  • The product will be “Certified for Windows Vista”.
  • Support for the new USB Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) has been added.
  • The PTP option in the setup menu’s USB item will be modified to MTP/PTP. The icon will also be modified
  • The range of possible settings for the Date option in the setup menu’s World time item will be changed to 2000-2099.
  • An issue that caused the ISO auto feature to be disabled, when a two-button reset operation was performed with ISO sensitivity set to any option other than ISO 200, has been resolved.
  • When attempting to edit images, which had already been edited using a computer, with options in the D40’s retouch menu, the camera sometimes froze. Therefore, images that have been edited using a computer can no longer be edited using the camera.

  • Errors in English, Polish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese menus have been corrected.
  • When white balance is fine-tuned, “+” or “?” will be displayed with the following icons:
  • White balance mode icon in the shooting information display
  • White balance mode icon in the shooting menu
  • When the mode dial is set to a Digital Vari-Program and the AF-area mode setting is changed, the AF-area mode setting will no longer revert to the default setting with the following operations:
