How to update your Nikon firmware - UPDATED

[@dominiclester3232]

Nice thanks. One little time saver...after inserting the memory card and selecting the Setup menu, scroll UP to immediately get the firmware menus!

[@lesladbrook4508]

You need to specify, format memory card "in camera" never in PC/Laptop, just to be clear, otherwise very clear

[@Nick-13]

And it is the same process for updating firmware for Z lenses. The firmware update for a lens is only needed via one camera and the update goes with the lens to other Z cameras

[@Cotictimmy]

I did the A & B updates on my D3X last year. At first I thought it would do both in a single step, but when B failed to update, I realised that it was necessary to do B totally separately (ie. without A on the memory card.)

[@CRyan-l2p]

Love this explanation: very crisp, clear and easy to understand.

[@ianwilson784]

Would also add if you have a camera with dual card slots make sure to remove the memory card without the update file, otherwise the update won't work. Keep up the great videos guys

[@DixonLu]

🤔Never encountered that issue. Just make sure the update file is on the primary card (as you have designated in the menus), not the secondary card.

[@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing]

Doesn't help. The update menu doesn't come up anyway.

[@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing]

The update menu doesn't come up no matter what I do. The card is formatted, the .bin file is correct and on the card, but the camera never shows the "update" option when in firmware version dialogue.

Hi there. i'm currently about to sell my D810, i've hardly ever used it, about 7000-accuations so its still got the original software it came with from new!. can i just upgrade straight to the latest software, or will i have to upgrade through each version? many many thanks in advance..

[@graysofwestminster]

You can upgrade straight to the latest firmware!

[@hondaxl250k0]

i did everything for my d3100. but when i put in camera and go to firmware nothing changes and no options but "ok" only thing on card is a file i named d3100 update. and in that is the new bin file.. camera dose not see it tho.. why? im so fustrated

[@Boldogsagtar]

Hi, I downloaded the nwe version and I put in the Nikon Z fc. But when I go to the firmwire version I just have Done option. C 1.30 LF 1.01. So how can I update then?

[@jadams4368]

Thank you so much for your straight to the point instruction.

[@nickjames2370]

Thanks for that. My D610 and D90 (!!!) both needed updating. 🙂

[@yuyunwang2787]

Hi, thanks for the video. I had dl the Mac version but I am unable to copy it into the SD card. It said unsupported file format

[@paulmontgomery6257]

Just did the boss’ zfc. The hardest part was finding a working card reader. The one I had been using somehow thought all cards were write-protected. You don’t notice that when you just use it to download the pics 🤦

[@HomesbyKristin]

THANK YOU! Not sure what I was doing wrong but kept googling for fix. This was super helpful. Only question: what do I need to do with the file on the card (I also have 4 new lenses to update as well) Do they just go away?

[@PeteNeal1]

Just updated Nikon D7100 firmware to 1.05 but now the autofocus on my sigma 150-500 has stopped working. Can anyone help? Thank you

[@misssofarrsogood]

Thank you so much. I’m really bad with anything technical ( yes this is technical for me 😂 ) I did it all by myself and this was a really clear video. Just wanted to say a massive thank you 😊

[@MrRedpiper]

Thank you for creating this content.

[@Vahagraphy]

Nice sweater Mrs. Danese. Hope all is well out there. Say hi to my Bratkan. :)

[@carlpollitt]

Are we going to get a update for our Z8

[@helthuismartin]

Please ask Nikon for a Nikon D4s firmware update so i can use XQD CFexpress cards in my Nikon D4s.Thanks

[@H2o3G2a]

Does the update work on the FM3a?

[@larslarsson1415]

For my z6II i use SnapBridge, it´s so much easier.

[@cshort2565]

Nice Eclectus!

[@3Ggaming589]

Does not work for P1000 fyi. Otherwise good video.

[@stuartbell3666]

That's the first time I've heard anyone mention un-zipping the Windows file.

[@ktmmark]

I take it this will not apply to Z6II and Z7II Owners lol

[@SaberKarmous]

Was about to say the same. Clearly the dual expeed 6’s were not the right move.

[@dominiclester3232]

⁠@@SaberKarmousWell, the dual Expeed processors do enable the ii cameras to have twice the autofocus speed and options to the original cameras, which is impressive.

[@dominiclester3232]

My Z7ii is up to firmware 1.60 which is many updates since I bought the camera new...Other manufacturers hardly update their firmware at all!
