When the D600 launched it was
advertised as being capable of impressive video recording, but those
who purchased it for that purpose were met with a bit of a surprise.
As it turns out, while the camera could record in 1080p, the
resulting video was scaled to fit 95 percent of the screen, leaving
black bars on the top, bottom, and sides. It’s a very strange choice
from Nikon, but thanks to a new firmware update, it’s not something
you’ll have to worry about anymore.
According to Nikon’s patch notes,
“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.” The new firmware also
brings some minor improvements and bug fixes, but nothing else as
noteworthy as this.
You can download update 1.01 directly from Nikon.
