Today, Nikon has announced a new firmware update for their D300 camera, version 1.10.

Along with a bevy of other fixes/improvements, the ones that caught my eye included:

• Focus acquisition performance in dynamic-area AF mode has been improved.
• Focus acquisition performance with contrast-detect AF has been improved.
• Auto white balance performance has been improved.

For a description of changes to the menus included in the update, download the D300 Firmware Update PDF from Nikon from here.
