New firmware is available for the SB900 from Nikon sites.

The fascinating thing is that if you own the D3, D700, D90 or D300 the upgrade is done via the camera with the SB900 mounted.

Ver 5.02 modifies the following:

1. With uninterrupted shooting with the SB-900 set to i-TTL mode, images captured just before the flash ceased firing were sometimes overexposed. This issue has been resolved. By resolving this issue, metering precision has been further increased and the number of times the flash fires has also been increased.

2. When the SB-900, set to TTL auto flash mode, is used with a camera supporting the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), flash mode automatically changes to A mode according to camera communication status. That flash mode was previously maintained, but it has been modified so that TTL auto flash mode is restored once the SB-900 again recognizes the camera as a CLS-compatible camera.

Indeed.

Thinking about getting a 900 actually. Does anyone want to lend a body to update firmware on if I do make the purchase?

I’m sure that would not be a problem with animal lovers abounding on this here forum

Seriously, if you are going to purchase an SB900 check that it is already up-to-date with version 5.02 firmware and down the track I’m sure you will be well looked after by members of the forum.
