Latest D3200 firmware?

ExContax

I tried to check the latest firmware update for my new D3200 but the Nikon Europe website will not load.
The version given in my settings are; C 1.03 and L 2.002. Anyone else having trouble with Nikon Europe?

According to Nikon USA that is the latest firmware for the D3200.

Not to be a party pooper... but is there any reason you'd be looking forward to a firmware update? I have a D7000, and I've yet seen any reason to update it. Usually it's just lens distortion profiles... of lenses I don't own.

I got through to the website a bit later and downloaded lens distortion profiles for the Nikon 35mm f1.8 G that I have coming in the post. I just wanted to make sure I was up to date.
I was a bit disappointed with the sharpness of the pictures it took at first and thought that the camera was needing realigned because my shots taken on a tripod using self timer were not as sharp I'd expected. I have found out very differently this morning though! I discovered the rangefinder feature in the camera and as I will be using the camera for mostly landscape and city shots, I will be using manual focus with some old Carl Zeiss lenses I still have from my Contax RTS11. I have a D40X and only got the D3200 body as I intended to get the 35mm lens for it.
Anyway, this morning, using the rangefinder, I took a handheld manual focus shot of my wife and did a bit of pixel peeping at 100%, 1:1 and wow even with the non-VR older 18-55mm lens, it shows the pores on her skin and the veins in her eyes! I took a crop of just the left eye and no loss. I can't wait to try the 35mm lens.

Ah, that's a very valid reason then. You're going to love the 35mm 1.8, I liked it a lot when I had a D40.

One of the most awesome things about the lowest end Nikon camera body is that you can almost mount any F-mount lens you want on it without worrying about damaging anything.

Enjoy your camera!

Be carefull just to update! :-

"The last D3100, D3200, D5100, D5200 and P7700 firmware update killed third party battery compatibility"
and even "It also makes it impossible to use Nikon batteries in third party battery grips."

Where can a list be found of wich third party batteries still work even after the firmware update?

Thanks

"I had compatibility issues with my 2 Sigma lenses on my D5100 - I sent them to Sigma 6 months ago and the problem was fixed, now Nikon bricked the new D5300 and DF with a new magical firmware code again. "
