D3’s virtual horizon feature is not available under the liveview mode even with the 2.0 update.

sorry, about the Virtual Horizon I now understand. The feature was already there in the ViewFinder, but also implemented in Live View with that firmware upgrade.

About the cleaning system implemented in a firmware upgrade am I wrong? or maybe I dreamed it ? …..

There is something I don’t understand…

If the Virtual Horizon necessary hardware is there in the D3, why Nikon didn’t implement the that feature from the beginning ??

(I guess it also applies to some dust removal system too made available via firmware, or am I wrong ?? )

It is in the last firmware upgrade for D3 from Sept 2008:

I could not find the strength levels in the D3 firmware, which made me think that this upgrade is about to be released.

It seems they refer to already released D3 firmware v2.0.0.
At least I failed to find anything new here.

Yes, I just realized that they included it already in their last update v.2.0. My bad…

The virtual horizon was already included in the last update (v2.0) – I changed the post.

Hmm, so the virtual horizon thingy disappeared…

So we can suppose that D3 gets the auto ADL as seen in D700 and Extra high as seen in D3X. Will D700 get extra high?

And what about electronic virtual horizon, what’s the new thing about that. A fix? or a new feature?
