Firmware update: Nikon Coolpix W100 1.4

Nikon has for its Coolpix W100-digital compact cameras released new firmware with version number 1.4. The firmware can be loaded onto the camera from a macOS or Windows machine. These cameras have a 1/3.1-inch format CMOS image sensor with 13.2 megapixels on board and have a built-in lens with a range of 30 to 90mm, which brings the optical zoom to 3x. The list of changes looks like this:

Changes from Firmware Version 1.3 to 1.4

• Fixed an issue that could result in rapid depletion of the battery if the camera was left unused after being fully charged using the supplied charging AC adapter and USB cable.

Changes from Firmware Version 1.2 to 1.3

• Fixed an issue that resulted in unreliable connections between the camera and the iOS 10.2 version of the SnapBridge app.
• Improved the reliability of photo and movie transfer using the SnapBridge app.

Changes from Firmware Version 1.1 to 1.2

• Fixed an issue that in rare cases prevented the camera turning on and increased the drain on the battery when Disable was selected for Bluetooth > Connection and On for Airplane mode in Camera settings > Network menu.

Changes from Firmware Version 1.0 to 1.1

• The camera now supports the iOS version of SnapBridge.
• Fixed the following issues:
  • Remote shooting would sometimes end and the camera would display the view through the lens if SnapBridge was used repeatedly to shoot remote photos at original size.
  • Photographs taken using Shoot at intervals would not all be saved to the same folder when the camera was paired with a smartphone or tablet.
  • The camera would sometimes freeze during movie playback if fast forward was stopped just before the final frame.
