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!

[@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.

[@lesladbrook4508]

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

[@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 😊

[@CRyan-l2p]

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

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

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.)

[@nickjames2370]

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

[@jadams4368]

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

[@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?

[@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 🤦

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!

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

[@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

[@larslarsson1415]

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

[@cshort2565]

Nice Eclectus!

[@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?

[@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

[@3Ggaming589]

Does not work for P1000 fyi. Otherwise good video.

[@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

[@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

[@stuartbell3666]

Thank you so much!

[@RetiredEE]

Thanks guys 🙂

[@mandos86]

Camera setting that you guys think are useful

[@H2o3G2a]

Does the update work on the FM3a?

[@stephendeakin2714]

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

Thanks!!!

[@jimwlouavl]

Thanks.

[@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!
