I don’t see a problem with button configuration and also the 100% zoom should be doable, provided there is enough space for additional subroutines.<br/> An intervalometer needs a timer of some sort (either hardware or software) and lots of MPUs for such applications already have stuff like this built-in. The D7000 has an intervalometer but I don’t know how closely related it is to the 3100/5100.<br/> I imagine that changing video parameters is either very simple or pretty complicated: A different framerate could be within the working limits of the existing subroutines (just not enabled by default) or a completely new subroutine needs to be written. This again would need program space.<br/> A firmware simulator for the Nikon series is a big achievement, though, and my trust in good results has increased significantly.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply-link"><a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120306111134/http://nikonrumors.com/2012/03/04/nikon-firmware-emulator-now-available.aspx/?replytocom=248309#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-248309", "248309", "respond", "34916")">Reply</a></div> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="comment-248368" class="comment c10 c-y2012 c-m03 c-d05 c-h00 alt depth-3"> <div class="comment-author vcard"><img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120306111134im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6a4b8abd407f65d153da18e50a958fdc?s=80&d=http%3A%2F%2Fnikonrumors.com%2Fwp-includes%2Fimages%2Fblank.gif&r=G" class="photo avatar avatar-80 photo" height="80" width="80"/> <span class="fn n">Askb</span></div> <div class="comment-meta">Posted March 5, 2012 at 5:47 am <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <a href="#comment-248368" title="Permalink to this comment">Permalink</a></div> <div class="comment-content"> <p>What kind of hardware adjustments are needed to add a function that locks all keys and buttons on the rear?</p> <p>Or one for Nikon 1 that make it possible to disable previews completely.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply-link"><a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120306111134/http://nikonrumors.com/2012/03/04/nikon-firmware-emulator-now-available.aspx/?replytocom=248368#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-248368", "248368", "respond", "34916")">Reply</a></div> </li> <li id="comment-248416" class="comment c11 c-y2012 c-m03 c-d05 c-h02 depth-3"> <div class="comment-author vcard"><img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120306111134im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/8570116cfef9ad65260b8b6d835c4451?s=80&d=http%3A%2F%2Fnikonrumors.com%2Fwp-includes%2Fimages%2Fblank.gif&r=G" class="photo avatar avatar-80 photo" height="80" width="80"/> <span class="fn n">Paul</span></div> <div class="comment-meta">Posted March 5, 2012 at 7:31 am <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <a href="#comment-248416" title="Permalink to this comment">Permalink</a></div> <div class="comment-content"> <p>If the hardware supports the functionality and it is locked only by software (as Canon seems to do some of their firmware), then there is the potential to unlock it.

Canon learnt after the 7d was released not to block the hacked firmware again.. so all the cameras that came after the 7d like the 600d and 60d have hacks now also.. improving the overall experience of using their cameras now to a higher level.. so canon understands the power of the hacks and behind closed doors doesn’t mind how far users want to push their rigs… this’ll blow your mind – i even showed the magic lantern hack to one of their firmware developers – and he loved it and still uses it on his 550d… he thought it was great and even he could see why leaving the gates open has its advantages at no risk to the company. he also just brought a panasonic gh2 to test out how their hacks work also.. </p> <p>same go’s for panasonic,<br/> i’m just about to buy 4 of their gh2′s and a couple of gf3′s to shoot a feature length doco starting end of march in China for 3-6months.. , so the gh2′s are looking like a go, just purely because they have been hacked and in the case of the gh2, the actual video quality is improved over other functions like we got on our magic lantern hacks, i.e.: zebra strips and focus tools and variable frame rates, no agc etc etc.. however the magic lantern hack doesn’t improve video quality like the gh2 hacks do. </p> <p>With the gh2 hacks – it makes the video higher quality then stock, and better then the old 5dmk2 by a long shot and for under $700usd. </p> <p>This is just the beginning too, there’s a lot of filmmakers out there like myself who don’t care which companies tools we use, as long as it does the job the way we require them to, then we are good to go. IF magic lantern comes to the 5dmk3, i’ll probably replace all the gh2′s with 5dmk3′s – if and when.. magic lantern has made the 5dmk2 useable – without the hack – not so much fun to use.. so looking forward to seeing some good hacks for the nikons now.. it’ll be an interesting experience and i might even grab a couple of d7000′s if the hacks add magic lantern like features to it.. if they can hack the d800′s then its party time, as i love their clean hdmi out.. but waiting for a softness test v 5dmk3 v gh3 + hack… who gets my money ??</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply-link"><a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120306111134/http://nikonrumors.com/2012/03/04/nikon-firmware-emulator-now-available.aspx/?replytocom=249508#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-249508", "249508", "respond", "34916")">Reply</a></div> </li> </ol> <div id="comments-nav-below" class="comment-navigation"> <div class="paginated-comments-links"></div> </div> </div> <div id="respond"> <h3 id="reply-title">Post a Comment <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120306111134/http://nikonrumors.com/2012/03/04/nikon-firmware-emulator-now-available.aspx/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120306111134/http://nikonrumors.com/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <p class="comment-notes">Your email is <em>never</em> published nor shared.
