Where can I find firmware updates for Nikon and how do I install them?

Question

I've been seeing for a while that there are firmware updates for cameras. In my current case I have a Nikon D90. Where can I find firmware updates and how do I update them?

Thanks for any help.

Answer

Nikon Support Site lists all the firmware for their cameras. Download v1.0.2 for the D90 using that link.

I believe the steps are as follows:

  1. Unzip the file
  2. Copy the image file to the root of the memory card
  3. Turn on camera and go to the menu
  4. Go to the setup menu (the wrench looking symbol)
  5. Select Firmware Version
  6. Follow the prompts

NOTE: I have already upgraded mine, so you may actually be prompted at step 3.
