Updating firmware on Nikon cameras
Firmware updates for Nikon Cameras are provided as .exe (Microsoft Windows) or .dmg (Mac OS) files. Both files are self-extracting within the operating systems they are intended for. They provide access to the included .bin file which has to be copied to the root directory of a memory card that will later be inserted into the camera. In this section it will be explained how to do a firmware update for a Nikon Camera using Debian GNU/Linux.
- Check actual firmware version of the Nikon camera according to the Nikon manual
- Check on the Nikon homepage if there is a newer firmware version available
- Download firmware image from the Nikon homepage in .exe format
- Extract .bin file from the .exe file:
$ unar [firmware-file-name].exe
