D90 Firmware 1.1

D90 Maintenance and Firmware Updates

Update – Firmware v2.0

Materials – D90

D90 Archived Update

First, it’s time for an update. It has been a few years since I last updated the software on my Nikon D90, so the time has come to do do. Since the camera itself has been archived by Nikon, we will treat this article as a reference materials as well. While the D90 is a cool piece of gear, we also want to assist those who are looking to preserve their cameras. Therefore, the focus of this article has shifted a bit. It is now centered on firmware, where to find the downloadable content, and how to continue maintaining the D90. Let’s make sure we update the D90 firmware from version 1.1 to version 2.0.

The D90 has been archived by Nikon, and you can find more details on the Nikon D90 Website. Check out the archival pages for more information. I am sharing a few photos of the D90 a.k.a “Dub9” DSLR. Can I call it a “Workhorse” still? It may not have been at the top of the market in its day, but with a little love, care and a few minutes, you can bring your D90 up-to-date with the D90 Firmware version 1.1 update. When updating, make sure to use the correct SD cards to protect your memory cards and camera equipment.

Don’t forget to leave a comment! Also, be aware of a few “gotchas” during the process. Backup all photos and video before starting. It’s best to back up before beginning. Remove any add-ons and modifications where applicable, especially any aftermarket parts and accessories that are attached. We want to have a common baseline before the firmware update. Reinstall aftermarket parts and accessories after the update process is complete. Test out anything you think might need a few extra minutes. Otherwise, after the firmware update, you should be good to go!

SPACE PENS

Buy Yourself A Fisher Space Pen

FISHER® SPACE PENS

Gear – Fisher Space Pen

Need a pen? Does anyone have a pen? Please, can I borrow a pen? ((Oh, what is this I see…)) A Fisher SPACE PEN? What’s going on? Is this some kind of alien artifact?

Yes, indeed it is a Fisher Space Pen. You can get yours here, just click the Fisher hyperlink and you’re all set! Moving on, this may increase my bounce rates, but who’s keeping track at the point? Let’s take a closer look, first, let’s purchase one! There are many ways to buy these pens, but the manufacturer’s website works best for me. We purchased ours at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Easy-peasy. One thing to note, Fisher also makes great pens with emblems, NASA Anniversary or Commemorative Pens and more. We choose the basic one, for a full list, check out the NASA Fisher collection. Heck, I should’ve shared photos of the pen, so the Fisher collection shopping experience will have to suffice for now.

Fisher Bullet Pen

It’s rather small, about half the size of a normal pen, textured, black. You can open the pen by sliding the front cap off the back half and replacing the cap on the back end. This will create a full sized writing instrument.

I use these pens for all my ‘writing/drawing’ needs including writing, drawing, shading, point/pointillism, sketch lines, home improvement (tasks, opening boxes, and random drone part bags). open boxes, random drone part bags). These writing instruments were designed to be used in outer space! Need I say more? Check out images on spacepen.com
