Need to update your Nikon camera's firmware? Here's a step by step guide with everything you need to know. We'll look at getting and downloading the firmware, getting it to the camera, and preventing the camera from becoming just an non-functional brick in the process :)

Yay! This tutorial may be 3 years old but it is THE BEST quick, to the point, and helpful tutorial out there! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

What an excellent tutorial on how to update the firmware. I must have watched 5 other video here on YouTube and nothing came close to your clear and precise instructions on how to do this. Others left information out and/or the video was poor in that they did not always have the camera facing what they were describing. I am completely new to the DSLR world and had no idea what I was doing. I'm deligted to have found your channel.

Had just updated my D850 to Firmware version 1.03 yesterday when I got your update notice today of the 1.10 update. Very nice succinct tutorial on updating which can be tricky.

Steve,
Thank you for taking your time, sharing your expertise and making these Nikon-based tutorials!

I had to SUBSCRIBE to you tonight; you've already taught me back button-focusing (it's way better!), and I'm looking forward to checking your website, buying your book and continually building my skill-set on my newly acquired D7000.

Since starting Fötögrafē April 2019, I've grown through a Canon Powershot, Nikon D3000 & D5000. There is a TREMENDOUS difference separating the D7000 from anything I've ever used.

I feel pretty confident, I won't be able to outgrow my "new" D7000, it's phenomenal!

I look forward to researching & applying your shared knowledge, each time I go shoot!

Steve you are awesome! I updated to a D750 and you helped me a ton with the firmware update on this video. The steps were easy to follow.
I follow you on YouTube and have all your books. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!

Hi Steve, Your video on updating firmware is right on. So far, you have given the most detailed and concise and EASY to follow update for something I needed to do with my Nikon. Awesome. Keep up the great work.

I've always managed get someone to help me in the past, the last time by calling Nikon for help. I'm technically challenged to say the least. However, this time I'll do it myself. You take all of the mystery out of it. THANK

Steve, mission accomplished - I can't thank you enough for this great presentation - straightforward instructions. I updated my D7200 - your instructions worked like a charm. Thank you - Sylvia Grummitt

Thanks Steve, after watching a different video I still was unsure of doing this correctly, but you made it an easy 'follow along' and it worked as it should, on my D750!

[drewturnbull]

Thanks Steve, this is why I've purchased your ebooks previously - great step by step instructions!

[chamoviajando]

You are the only one who explain this in detail. Well done, thanks

[toddleech]

perfectly executed, your "how to " video's are some of the best out there, you make it so simple to follow and easy to do

[PPISAFETY]

Steve, thank you so much for this video. I'm a computer idiot and just purchased an ancient D700 that still had its original firmware. I scratched my head most of the morning trying to figure out how to do the update from printed instructions with no luck. Two minutes after watching your video, my camera was successfully updated!

[WarlordsRising]

Thanks Steve, great to see your subscribers increase over the years. Well deserved :)

[lakesrhino]

Steve, thank you. Have had problems updating my D500. Watched your video and now sorted. So simple in the end (when you know what to do! )

[tonypowell]

Steve.Can I say a BIG thank you. I have spent all afternoon trying to update my Nikon D750 Firmware but I couldn't save the download onto SD card correctly. Then thanks to one viewing of your very informative video I managed to do it straight away. Thanks again. Brilliant video

[greyhoundrick]

Excellent explanation and presentation Steve. Thank you for the great content! Best to you, Rick

[carolynmorehead]
