6 years on, these high-end full-frame DSLR cameras are getting a fresh firmware update
Released in 2020, the two DSLRs are not forgotten, as Nikon now fixes exposure-related bugs
Even six years after their launch, Nikon's D780 and flagship D6 high-end DSLRs are still receiving firmware updates in 2026. Both models are full-frame DSLRs, but Nikon has focused on improving these older cameras rather than introducing new features. These firmware updates address exposure-related bugs that have been reported by users.
For the Nikon D780, released in 2020, the issue is with photos sometimes being underexposed when zoom is adjusted during burst photography in high-speed continuous release mode. The D6 update rectifies a few problems: photos taken with a D-type lens might be underexposed, and recalling shooting functions could limit the shutter speed to 1/250 s with auto FP high-speed sync.
While these updates don't offer new capabilities, they demonstrate Nikon's commitment to refining the performance of these older DSLRs. Potential users may find reassurance in the fact that Nikon continues to support these models.
