When downloaded optional Picture Controls files are installed, they are added to the Picture Controls available in the Picture Control palette opened from ” Base Adjustments > Camera Adjustments > Picture Control ” in the Capture NX Edit List, as well as to the Stored Picture Controls in the Picture Control Utility.
• The names of the following colored gel filters, which can now be used with the Speedlight SB-900, are added to the ” Flash “ submenu in the White Balance palette opened from ” Base Adjustments > RAW Adjustments > White Balance “ in the Edit List:

• When a new white balance setting was applied with selection of ” Calculate Automatically ” from the New WB pulldown menu in the White Balance palette opened from ” Base Adjustments > RAW Adjustments > White Balance ” in the Edit List, and ” Set Gray Point ” then selected from the ” Set Color Temperature / Set Gray Point ” pulldown menu, the values for the ” Red ” and ” Blue ” sliders remained at 1. This issue has been resolved.
• An issue that caused the white balance setting specified in step 1 with the operation described below to be displayed as the current white balance setting in the New WB pulldown menu has been resolved:
• 1. A new white balance setting was applied from the New WB pulldown menu in the White Balance palette opened from ” Base Adjustments > RAW Adjustments > White Balance ” in the Edit List, and the image then saved in NEF format,
  2. The newly saved image was opened again and the white balance setting changed to ” Recorded Value “, selected from the New WB pulldown menu, and the image again saved in NEF format,
  3. The image opened again.
• When RAW images captured with the D3 or D300 at sensitivity settings in the LO range were opened, they were completely black. The issue has been resolved.
• When RAW images captured at some preset manual white balance settings were opened, they were incorrectly displayed with lines or bands, or completely white. This issue has been resolved.
