copy the firmware update files (e.g., D300S101.BIN)
into the root folder (top level) of your camera’s memory
card.
3. Make sure that you have a fully charged battery
powering the camera, turn off the camera, and insert the
memory card containing the firmware update file.
Continuing from Figure 5-46, you’ll notice that there is
now an Update choice that appears below the Done
selection in Figure 5-47, image 1.
4. Select Update and scroll to the right (see Figure 5-47,
image 1).
5. Choose Yes from the menu and press the OK button (see
Figure 5-47, image 2).
Do not turn the camera off during the firmware
upgrade process or it may need to be repaired by Nikon
before it will work again! You will receive instructions
on the camera’s Monitor when it is safe to turn the
camera off.
6. You’ll see the update taking place with a screen like the
one in Figure 5-47, image 3. The green progress bar will
move from left to right while the update is happening.
Do not touch the camera while this update is taking
place.
7. The update process will be finished when the progress
bar reaches the right side. A final screen will pop up
informing you, Update completed. Turn camera off (see
Figure 5-47, image 4). It is now safe to turn the camera
off and back on. When it comes back on, the new
firmware will be running.
