Nikon Picture control downloads

[Wheels]

There are 2 downloads available for my camera a landscape and portrait, I have downloaded the files onto the pc as it says I have double clicked each file to install them, but how do I get the settings onto the camera?

This is the link to the downloads

Make sure the camera battery is fully charged.

I have a spare 16mb flash card, I copied both files onto the card and when I go to load to camera it says no files available:bang:

After you have copied the files from your pc to the card open the “NIKON” folder and check that “.NOP” files are all copied.

If that shows the files there then there could be a reason why the camera is not recognising them.

Try is:-
Put the card in the camera and format it then try the process again.
Sometimes if cards are formatted out of camera (e.g. by a pc) the file system can be different and will not be recognised.

Can you take pics on to that spare card OK?

Did you notice this bit in the insts:-

Important
Copy the “NIKON” folder directly to the top (root) level of the removable disk. The camera will not recognize the optional Picture Controls if the “NIKON” folder is inside another folder.

Don't know if you have done so, but it is a good idea to print off the download/install instructions. It is not all that user friendly.

i have loaded both onto my D300s and D700. Portrait I didn't like - warm colour cast ish but landscape was OK; just OK. I don't really bother, shoot RAW and do my own post processing for the portfolio stuff. Anyway they only apply to the JPEG.
