Firmware update

[ROB247]

Hi all i have been told there is a new firmware from nikon, that you can download onto a campact flash. Then load in to your camera. Can anything go wrong ?

All should be fine as long as the cameras not turned off during the update process.

As long as you follow the instructions and have a fully charged battery, updating firmware is pretty easy. I've done it on 30D, 40D and 50D Canons.

Not if you follow the instructions and have a fully charged battery or one that will last for about 5 minutes.
I'm always a bit apprehensive when I have to do anything like this but all went well.
This is the link to the D700 firmware.

There is another thread about the update:-

Read what Naboo32 says. He got an error message with his battery at 80% charge.
Be sure to have a fully charged battery even although the data transfer from CF card to camera only takes about 3 minutes.

Very simple and straightforward IF you follow the instructions exactly.
