Well the original date was 19th April but I am seeing dates in early May so either they are refining and adjusting or something has caused a major problem. The Japanese dont like missing release dates so you can bet they are woking 24/7 to get it here on time (whenever that is 19 April or early May).

Still no sign of the new firmware. Sigh I guess it is now a wait for sometime in May.

A D500 specific firmware update. https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/323.html Not the fabled Eye AF for all the cameras which is what I am waiting for but it does solve some reported issues with the D500.

This is in the firmware notes!!......... "Updating from “C†Firmware Versions 1.00 through 1.12 to Version 1.20 You will need to perform the update twice. Performing the update for a second time completes the firmware update. During the first update, the camera may or may not display the message, “Update failed. Contact a Nikon-authorized service representative.†Continue with the second update regardless. Performing the Second Update Complete Steps 4 through 6 of “Updating the Camera Firmwareâ€. A Note on the Second Update Note that the firmware version may or may not change as a result of the first update. If the firmware version has changed, the “Current†and “New†versions displayed in the “Update?†dialog will be the same; otherwise, the two versions will be different. In either case, the firmware version will be updated when you perform the update a second time. SnapBridge App Unable to Connect If the SnapBridge app is unable to connect to the camera after the update, you may not have performed the second update. Select Connect to smart device in the camera SETUP MENU to display the app and camera name; if the Bluetooth icon does not flash in the display, you will need to perform the update again." Never seen this before where you need to apply an update TWICE to make it complete.

Well I have updated my D500. Did it the two times as recommended by Nikon to ensure that everything is done correctly.

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.

Next step is the EyeAF for the Z7. That will be very useful but not a must have. I have it on the Fujis and rarely remember to switch it on. Too much faff to find the item in the menus!
