Is it a must to update the firmware?

Actually not really. It is your choice whether you want to update the firmware. But if you are to send this camera to NSC,it is most likely that NSC will update for you automatically.

I'm here to seek second opinions - some say the upgrade firmware 1.10 settles the overexposure issue. What are the D80 owners takes? Thanks!

Typically a firmware version contains bug fix and minor enhancement, while the manufacturer may not state all the bug fixes in the firmware released, generally, it is better to upgrade to a new firmware.

I upgraded my friend's D80's firmware. Based on my limited experience, I believe the firmware has somehow enhanced the exposure control under brigth sun light. I managed to try out today under hot sun light, I do not need to step down -7EV enymore to get the desired exposure.

Know what? I think you are right....I went to the airshow (all sun!!) and no EV adjustment needed..

In that case, the rest of D80 users should go upgrade their firmware. Even if there is no enhancement, at least there is no reports about new bugs being found in the new code.

By the way, quite hot sunlight today, here are some shots taken, none need to step EV down.

my d80 never needed to step down at all for normal shots, didn't have that slight overexposure problem some people have. so duno shd even try upgrading the fw or not. hmm...

Dearboy87 · 10th March 2008

For me.. i still use the -0.7 exposure.. btw i'm using the custom setting KRW suggest..
i find it better .. more to my liking.. after the upgrade of firmware..
