When Nikon launched the D600, the DSLR was advertised as being on par with the Nikon D800 in the realm of video recording. There was soon grumbling, however, when owners noticed that HDMI output from the camera was crippled: there were black bars around the frame that weren’t present in D800 footage. People immediately began pointing fingers at Nikon, accusing the company of intentionally hamstringing the D600 in various ways so that it wouldn’t cannibalize sales of the D800 too badly.
Well, Nikon heard the complaints, and has now addressed them by releasing a firmware update for the D600 that does away with the black bars.Here’s some sample footage showing the cropped frame of Nikon D600 video output:The new C: 1.01 firmware update includes a number of fixes and adjustments to the camera (e.g. compatibility with certain lenses, improvement subject tracking, and small quirks that users have reported), but the main one is the 100% HDMI output:
Frame output size has been changed from 95% to 100% when movie live view display is changed to “Information off” and an HDMI-compatible device is connected.
Nikon no longer needs to disclose the problem in a subtle way …
