How to Update Your DSLR Firmware (i.e. Nikon D3400)

Manufactures release firmware updates to fix various issues and provide enhancements to given products. Nikon recently released a firmware update to the D3400 which is intended to address SnapBridge connectivity issues. Regardless of your camera's make/model, take a moment to see if an updated firmware exists.

Updating firmware is doable but be careful not to interrupt the update for any reason (i.e. do not power the camera off, ensure you have strong battery, etc.).

Snap Bridge was telling me I needed to update my firmware and this was very helpful to do it with confidence. Mine was going from C1.12 to 1.13 and LD 2.017 to 2.08 worked just like your video.

My wife bought me a Nikon D3400 for Christmas last year. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you! I live in Italy currently so there are plenty of photo ops. Thanks again. Ciao

I was having problems updating until I viewed your tutorial. You made it clear that the opened BIN files were copied separately onto the SDX card. I did both the C:Ver.1.13 and Ver.2.017 updates easily. Excellent - Thank you.

Thank you. Will try this since snapbridge doesnt connect to my camera. Pretty straightforward and very good instructions. Your voice is clear and very easy to understand. You should go read the news on tv! :)

Awesome! With your advice, I decided to buy the D3400 and it came in today. Thank God. I just updated it. From the software section on the page you linked to I downloaded the NEF Codec which now lets me preview the raw files in my Windows photo viewer. Thanks a lot for all your help. Your content is really helpful. I appreciate it all. :)

I updated firmware in the past but in the end it's always good to have a "make sure I don't brick" instructions.

I never bricked a device when I seen other people do successful firmware upgrades and I follow along. but I have seen others brick their devices by doing it so... so wrong.

A word of warning for all devices, make sure they are either plugged in, or a fully charged and healthy battery is used for the firmware upgrades because this is the number 1 reason why devices are bricked.

Hello.
I have said this before, but you make some of the best how to videos on Youtube, Clear and easy to listen to and no annoying music, and well planned. I will check my Nikon D5500 and see if this is some firmware for me!

[unlokia]

What a lovely man you are! :) thank you for being so good at what you do, you're a real blessing to YouTube and the world. God bless you Sir, Matthew.

Good evening. I decided not to go with the 3400 but I just bought the 7200. Looking forward for better weather to see your new tutorials as well as what I have learnt this year. Thanks for all your help
