Nikon has issued new firmware for its D810, D810A, D750, D7200 and D500 DSLR cameras that fixes a number of issues and which will allow those that can’t already to operate with the company’s WT-7 wireless transmitter.
The transmitter itself also has new firmware to accommodate the added models, and to improve the reliability of its connection with SnapBridge on iOS 10. 2 devices.
As well as equipping the D810, D810A, D750 and D7200 for life with the WT-7 the firmware attends to a number of bugs in the cameras, as marked below.
D500

D810
The WT-7 wireless transmitter is now supported.
Fixed the following issues:
Multiple exposures were not recorded correctly.

Photos taken immediately after lenses were exchanged would not be recorded at the correct exposure.
The protect icon did not display correctly.
