D70 Firmware Update Announcement
Answer
New firmware update further enhances the functionality of 2004's
Digital SLR Camera of the Year

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce a firmware update that
brings refined performance enhancements to the Nikon D70.

The rapid pace at which development of digital technologies is proceeding
inevitably leads to a continual release of new products. In the face of
this dynamic, Nikon is determined to demonstrate our respect for the many
customers who purchased a D70 digital SLR camera by delivering, where
possible, the latest technology that the digital world has to offer through
firmware updates. The D70 firmware update to be released shortly aims to
share enhancements developed for the new D70s, and thereby to strengthen
the performance of the D70.

The firmware update includes the following additions and refinements:

- Improved performance for the 5-area autofocus system's Dynamic Area AF
and Closest Subject Priority Dynamic Area AF modes.
- Updated menus with a new design similar to that of the D70s, making them
easier to view and quicker to recognize.
- Added in-camera page setup support for PictBridge compatible printers.

Release schedule: Nikon Corporation will release the D70 firmware updater
worldwide in mid-May 2005.
