Nikon’s taken criticism of its enthusiast-friendly P7000 compact to heart and has today announced a fresh firmware for that shooter. Overall NRW (Nikon’s own RAW format) processing times are said to have been reduced, while lens control has been optimized to reduce the occurrence of focusing errors. A couple of other tweaks have also been thrown in: one to overcome a rare issue that would block the zoom from operating, and another causing blown highlights on the camera’s LCD when Active D-Lighting is enabled and the shutter is half-pressed. That’s your lot; if you’ve got the camera already, it’s a no-brainer, and if you don’t, it might cast a happier new light on the P7000′s earlier reviews .
