Nikon D7000 firmware update released to reduce the bright spots issue

Many Nikon D7000 users out there noticed that bright spots occurred with the live view mode or movie recording of dark scenes/subjects. Now hot on the heels of the P7000 firmware update, Nikon has released an update for the D7000 DSLR camera. The good news is that Nikon has obviously been looking into the issue; the bad news is that the description of the update states that the occurrence of the issue has been reduced, though it doesn’t mention anything about being totally eliminated. Still, it’s a lot better than nothing and you’re welcome to install the update for yourself. The description of the update from Nikon reads:

“Bright spots were sometimes noticeable with live view mode or movie recording of especially dark scenes or subjects. Occurrence of this issue has been reduced.“
