Mack,
Curious!
Did you receive any firmware upgrade for the camera recently?
Fred
Fred, yes it has the most current updates: A and B (A: 1.00 / B: 1.01). The "C" one came later I think. That "C" one is some extra one that Nikon posted later than the first pair and they call it "Distortion Control Data" for cameras (Most of their DSLRs) that support it. It is found here:
http://www.nikonimglib.com/dcdata/index.html#os-windowsI saw in the current update (A&B) this:
Modifications enabled with this upgrade of firmware, release date May 29, 2012
When a still image was captured while viewing existing images in playback mode, the monitor turned off, the memory card access lamp glowed steadily, and, in some rare cases, the camera ceased to respond to operations. This issue has been resolved.
When the Wireless Transmitter WT-4 was used with certain settings applied, RAW images were also transferred when Wireless transmitter > Transfer settings > Send file as was set to JPEG only. This issue has been resolved.
A dark shadow sometimes appeared at the bottom edge of images captured with Active D-Lighting set to any option other than Off with Image area set to 5:4 (30x24). This issue has been resolved.
Maybe that last one? Although it says on the bottom edge and this occurs on the right end as viewed in Landscape mode. I don't see an issue there.
Adobe RAW on my NEF's shows: Adobe RGB (1998), 16 bit, 4312x7360, 36.2MP, 240ppi at the bottom of the ACR screen as mentioned already.
Odd why the D800 and D800E would be different sizes in reality though. Odd why they would allow more MP in the D800E if that is the case: D800=36.24MP & D800E=36.47MP if both are 4912 in height. Interesting trivia bit though.
Glad to see Terry sees it too in his downloaded D800E NEFs and it isn't my camera acting up. My fear is having Nikon work on it.
Strange Mel's D600 shows the same bit of extra rope, but if it isn't supported yet in QU then it may "
Need a haircut too."
