    Updating Digital SLR Camera Firmware

    – Windows –
    Thank you for choosing a Nikon product. This guide describes how to perform this firmware
    update. If you are not confident that you can perform the update successfully, the update can
    be performed by a Nikon service representative.
    See the camera manual for information on camera operations.
    Important
    The camera may be damaged if power is interrupted or camera controls are operated during
    the update. Do not turn the camera off, remove or disconnect the power source, or operate
    camera controls during the update. If the update is not completed successfully and the
    camera becomes inoperable, take the camera to a Nikon-authorized service representative
    for inspection.

    1 Get ready
    To upgrade the camera firmware, you will need:
    • The camera
    • A computer equipped with a card reader or card slot
    • One of the following camera power sources:
    ——An AC adapter
    ——A fully-charged rechargeable Li-ion battery of a type supported by the
    camera
    • A Nikon-approved memory card that has been formatted in the camera (note
    that all data on the memory card will be deleted when the card is formatted;
    before formatting the card, back up any data you wish to keep to a computer
    or other device)
    • The camera User’s Manual

    2 Check the current camera firmware version
    The menus displayed on your camera may differ from those shown here.

    2 Press the MENU to display the menus.

    3 Select Firmware version in the setup


    menu.

    screen to enter desktop mode.

    2 After reading the end-user license agreement on the download site, select
    Accept and click Download. Save the file to the folder created in Step
    3–1.

    3 Open the folder created in Step 3–1 and double-click the downloaded
    file (“F-XXXX-V###W.exe”, where “XXXX” is the camera name and “###” the
    firmware version) to extract the firmware to a sub-folder in the new folder.

    4 Copy the firmware to the memory card
    The firmware can be copied to the camera memory card using a computer
