Nikon 1 J5 C1.01 — patched v11.1
Nikon 1 J5 C1.01 — patched v11.1
English
v11.1 integrates the Japanese-market language fix by Kai Chang (lcat2000). Install this BIN directly; do not apply his original v11 patch script to it. Original v11 remains available unchanged for compatibility with his tutorial.
November 11 Japanese-market language fix: The Japanese-market language-menu fix is included: all 32 language names are available. Kai Chang (lcat2000) confirmed the list and Traditional Chinese persistence after power-off on one Japanese-market J5. Other languages have not received full on-camera testing. Users of the earlier v11 should download and install the replacement BIN.
November 9 language update: completed both MF setting names in all 32 languages. Download the updated BIN if you installed the earlier v11 file; settings and shooting behavior are retained.
New settings are under Setup → Custom, at the end of the Setup menu:
- Assign Wi-Fi button / Assign Delete button: independent assignments using the original Fn choices. Remapping applies only on the shooting screen; playback keeps the original functions. The Wi-Fi assignment includes an option to restore Wi-Fi.
- Half-press cancel zoom (MF): turn Off to keep magnification while half-pressing and releasing. A registered full press completes a single-shot request even if released quickly. Magnification ends for capture; it does not return automatically afterward.
- Keep MF zoom: turn On to disable the automatic timeout for mechanical, native and FT1 lenses. Press OK to exit.
- Language-menu unlock: The Japanese-market language-menu fix is included: all 32 language names are available. Kai Chang (lcat2000) confirmed the list and Traditional Chinese persistence after power-off on one Japanese-market J5. Other languages have not received full on-camera testing.
Settings are saved across power cycles. On first initialization, half-press cancellation is On and MF hold is Off; existing saved choices are retained. To keep magnification open indefinitely, enable Keep MF zoom. Both MF setting names are now localized for all 32 firmware languages. Native font coverage and text decoding have been checked; typography has not been camera-tested in every language.
All v10 features remain, including M/A mechanical-lens support and Auto ISO, partial FT1 AF-point selection, 1-second interval settings and the FT1 lens compatibility preview. The existing FT1 weak-contrast touch-shutter wait remains unresolved. Menu headings and summaries are corrected, and diagnostic captions have been removed. The release uses the shooting logic confirmed in test15; the caption cleanup passed offline checks.
Download J5_0101_patched_v11.1.bin to install, or J5_0101_stock_restore.bin to restore stock functions. Copy only the BIN being installed to the card root and use Setup → Firmware version → Update with a charged battery. Do not interrupt power or remove the card during updating. Delete the BIN afterward; the version display remains C1.01. Before restoring stock functions, stop interval shooting and set its interval to at least five seconds. The restoration file is unchanged and requires a working update menu.

v11.1 集成 Kai Chang（lcat2000）的日版语言修补。可直接刷入本 BIN，无需再运行他的原 v11 补丁脚本。原版 v11 保持原文件，供其教程继续使用。
**11 月 11 日日版语言修复：**已修复日版机身的语言菜单：可列出全部 32 种语言。Kai Chang（lcat2000）已在一台日版 J5 上确认列表显示及繁体中文关机后保留；其他语言尚未逐一完成实机测试。 已安装旧 v11 的用户请重新下载并刷入新版 BIN。
**11 月 9 日文字修订：**补齐两个 MF 设置名称的全部 32 种语言。已安装早期 v11 文件的用户可重新下载刷入；保留设置和拍摄行为。
新增设置位于设置菜单末尾的「自定义」中：
- **指定 WiFi 按钮／指定删除按钮：**可分别设置原 Fn 的功能。仅在拍摄界面生效，回放保留原有功能；Wi-Fi 列表中可选择恢复 Wi-Fi。
- **半按取消变焦(MF)：**关闭后，半按及松开保持放大；单张拍摄中已登记全按，即使很快松开也会继续完成。拍摄时退出放大，拍后不会自动恢复。
- **MF保持放大：**开启后，纯机械镜头、原生镜头和 FT1 都不再自动超时退出放大；按 OK 可退出。
- **语言菜单解锁：**已修复日版机身的语言菜单：可列出全部 32 种语言。Kai Chang（lcat2000）已在一台日版 J5 上确认列表显示及繁体中文关机后保留；其他语言尚未逐一完成实机测试。
设置在关机后保留。首次初始化时，半按取消默认开启，保持放大默认关闭；已有选择在升级时保留。需要不限时放大时，请开启「MF保持放大」。两个 MF 设置名称已补齐全部 32 种语言，已检查原生字库覆盖和文字读取，尚未在实机逐一检查所有语言的排版。
保留 v10 全部功能，包括纯机械镜头 M/A 档支持及自动 ISO、FT1 部分对焦点移动、1 秒间隔拍摄和 FT1 镜头兼容性预览。FT1 弱反差触摸快门等待问题仍未解决。菜单标题和状态显示已修正，诊断文字已移除。本版沿用 test15 已获实机确认的拍摄逻辑，文字清理后通过离线检查。
下载 J5_0101_patched_v11.1.bin 安装自制固件，或用 J5_0101_stock_restore.bin 恢复原厂功能。只将本次要刷入的一份 BIN 复制到卡根目录，电量充足时进入「设置 → 固件版本 → 更新」。更新中不要断电或拔卡，完成后删除 BIN；版本页仍显示 C1.01。恢复原厂功能前，先退出间隔拍摄并设回至少 5 秒。恢复文件保持不变，要求相机能进入更新菜单。

Nikon 1 J5 C1.01 — patched v10
English
The Wi-Fi button can now be assigned independently as Fn2. In Setup → Assign Fn2 button, choose exposure compensation, metering, white balance, ISO sensitivity, Picture Control, AF-area mode or focus mode. Choose Wi-Fi to restore its original function. Assignments are saved across power cycles; the original Fn button keeps its own setting. First-use Fn2 normally defaults to ISO.
New menu labels cover all 32 firmware languages. The submenu heading may still show “ISO sensitivity” because it reuses that native layout. Independent assignments, persistence and Wi-Fi restoration have been tested; the final font/icon adjustments have offline checks only.
All v09 features and known limits remain, including the FT1 weak-contrast touch-shutter focus wait. J5 only, based on C1.01. Read the guide.
Extract J5_0101_patched_v10.zip: it contains J5_0101_patched_v10.bin and the unchanged J5_0101_stock_restore.bin. Copy only the BIN being installed to the card root, then use Setup → Firmware version → Update with a charged battery. Do not interrupt power or remove the card during updating. Delete the BIN afterward. The version display remains C1.01. Before restoring stock functions, stop interval shooting and set its interval to at least five seconds. Restoration requires a working update menu.

Wi-Fi 按钮现在可独立设置为 Fn2。在「设置 → 指定 Fn2 按钮」中，可选择曝光补偿、测光、白平衡、ISO 感光度、优化校准、AF 区域模式或对焦模式；选择「Wi-Fi」可恢复原有功能。设置在关机后保留，原 Fn 按钮保留自己的设置。Fn2 首次使用时通常默认为 ISO。
新增菜单文字覆盖固件全部 32 种语言。由于复用了原生布局，子菜单标题可能仍显示「ISO 感光度」。独立设置、关机保存和恢复 Wi-Fi 已实机验证；最后的字体、图标调整只有离线校验。
保留 v09 全部功能和已知限制，包括 FT1 弱反差触摸快门持续等待合焦问题。仅适用于 J5，基于 C1.01。完整使用说明。
解压 J5_0101_patched_v10.zip，可得到 J5_0101_patched_v10.bin 和未改动的 J5_0101_stock_restore.bin。只将本次要刷的一份 BIN 复制到卡根目录，电池电量充足时进入「设置 → 固件版本 → 更新」。更新中不要断电或拔卡，完成后删除 BIN。版本页仍显示 C1.01。恢复原厂功能前，先退出间隔拍摄，并将间隔设回至少 5 秒。恢复要求相机能进入更新菜单。

Nikon 1 J5 C1.01 — patched v09
Nikon 1 J5 C1.01 — patched v09
English
Retains all v08 mechanical-lens features and adds:
- Partial FT1 AF-area unlock: with a lens that supports autofocus through FT1, press OK and use the directional buttons, or use touch selection, to move the single AF point. With touch shutter enabled, tapping the screen focuses and takes a photograph at the selected point. This build confines FT1 single-point AF selection to the firmware’s existing central set of 105 points: an out-of-range touch snaps to the nearest point, directional movement stops at the boundary, and step selection skips out-of-range positions. A J5 with FT1 and a Nikon 16–85mm has focused and saved photographs at central and some non-central points; not all 105 points have been tested individually. Auto-area, face-priority and tracking modes are not unlocked.
- One-second interval shooting: adds 1–4-second settings and revised preparation timing for one and two seconds. Standalone tests saved 20 RAW photographs at each expected interval with short exposures and MF. Sustained performance depends on exposure, focusing, buffering and card writing; card-write speed is unchanged.
- FT1 lens-restriction unlock (preview): a forum tester reported MF use in M/A and video with the Nikon 200–500mm, including VR and aperture stop-down during capture. AF remains unavailable; set the lens to MF. The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 OS still reports a lens error. Compatibility with other lenses needs individual testing.
Known FT1 limitation: with AF-S and touch shutter enabled, a low-contrast subject can leave the camera waiting for focus. MENU and another screen touch may not cancel the wait. Point snapping does not fix this. A higher-contrast subject may allow capture to complete; if the controls remain unresponsive, turn the camera off and on. This issue is deferred to a later release.
Install J5_0101_patched_v09.bin. To restore stock functions, use the unchanged J5_0101_stock_restore.bin. Copy one BIN to the card root, keep only the firmware being installed on the card, and update through Setup → Firmware version → Update with a charged battery. No renaming is needed. Do not interrupt power or remove the card during the update. Delete the update file after completion; the version screen still shows C1.01.
Before returning to v08 or stock functions, exit interval shooting and set the interval to at least five seconds. Restoration requires a camera that boots and can open the update menu.
J5 only. The firmware is completely free. Full guide.

保留 v08 全部纯机械镜头功能，并加入：
- FT1 部分对焦区域解锁：使用兼容自动对焦的镜头时，可按 OK 后用方向键移动单点对焦位置，也可触摸选点；开启触摸快门时，点击屏幕会在选定位置对焦拍摄。本版将 FT1 单点 AF 的选点限制在固件原有的中央 105 点集合：触摸范围外时吸附到最近点，方向键到边界后停留，步进选点跳过范围外位置。J5＋FT1＋尼康 16–85mm 已验证中央及部分非中央点能合焦拍摄，全部 105 点尚未逐点验证。自动区域、人脸和追踪模式未解锁。
- 最短 1 秒间隔拍摄：增加 1～4 秒设置，并调整 1、2 秒档的拍摄准备时机。独立测试版在短快门、MF 下，以 1 秒和 2 秒间隔各保存了 20 张 RAW，间隔正常。持续速度受曝光、合焦、缓存和写卡影响，写卡速度保持原样。
- FT1 镜头限制解锁（预览）：网友反馈尼康 200–500mm 可在 M、A 档及视频中使用 MF，VR 和拍摄时的光圈收缩有效。AF 仍不可用，需将镜头切至 MF。Sigma 105mm f/2.8 OS 仍会出现镜头错误。其他镜头的兼容性需要分别验证。
**FT1 已知限制：**AF-S 下开启触摸快门后，弱反差目标可能让相机持续等待合焦，MENU 和再次触摸可能无法取消。选点范围限制不能解决这一问题。将镜头转向反差更明显的目标后，可能完成拍摄并恢复操作；若仍无法操作，可关机重开。此问题留待后续版本处理。
安装使用 J5_0101_patched_v09.bin，恢复官方功能使用未改动的 J5_0101_stock_restore.bin。将一份 BIN 复制到卡根目录，只保留本次要刷的固件，电池电量充足时在「设置 → 固件版本 → 更新」中刷入，无需改名。更新中不要断电或拔卡。完成后删除升级文件，版本页面仍显示 C1.01。
退回 v08 或官方功能前，先退出间隔拍摄，并将间隔设回至少 5 秒。恢复要求相机能正常开机并进入更新菜单。
仅适用于 J5，固件完全免费。完整说明。
