November 20th, 2008 No comments

sb800 sb900 front
Yesterday i posted about Compare SB-900 vs. SB-800 and today Nikon has released update 5.02 for the SB-900 Flagship Speedlight.

The fixes include:

* Improved continuous shooting performance that previously resulted in overexposure
* Fixed mode persistence problems with TTL-A use on CLS/iTTL equipped bodies

Nikon D3 and D300 owners need to make note of the caveats that they should have the latest firmware loaded on their camera bodies before using an SB-900 equipped with this version update. The Speedlight firmware is available for Mac and Windows (NikonUSA Support Site).
