I applied mine twice and I was on latest version (v1.12) before this.  It allowed me to reapply it.
I find this very strange as it is binary like 1/0, yes/no, either it works or it doesnt!  Hey whatever as long as it still works and better then I will apply it.

Interesting....mine said v 1.15 before upgrading

I havent applied some of the D500 updates as they seemed to be very video oriented.
This latest update does bring some important fixes and improvements.
I hope the next one in May will bring Eye AF which will be useful to stills and video users.  

However I guess my view is "if I wanted video then I would buy myself a video camera".  A good video camera really does knock spots off a DSLR from what I have seen.

I see people showing stuff taken by mobile phones either stills or video and they are raving over quality, etc., but I just think silently "we live in such a superficial world that has little respect for real craft and quality and in fact it is all about a very narcissistic and ego centric view of the world", if you look at the image at A4 size then most phone images ate pretty rubbish.  That applies to 99.99999% of them.
Sorry if this sounds cynical or depressive.  

There are some hugely talented people out there whose work I would rather respect and admire than showing my own images which occasionally are pretty good but in real creative terms could be viewed as mediocre.  Maybe I am too critical and set the quality barriers too high.

New firmware is here but there doesn't seem to be anything exciting in it.

I understand that the new EyeAF feature will come in a firmware version higher than the recently v1.20 release firmware.

D850, D7500 and D5600 firmware updates now available.

https://www.dpreview.com/news/8252606558/nikon-firmware-updates-add-direct-wi-fi-connectivity-to-d850-d5600-and-d7500

I have updated my D850 but still need to assess if there are any adverse aspects (usually not but always need to test).

Z7 firmware coming next Thursday 16 May. :applause:
