Dev Vickers.I had another go following your steps and hallelujah I cracked the update to the firmware on D7100. I more then pleased since I am nearing my 83 birthday. Chders
You were awesome! Thank you VERY much all the way from South Africa for sharing your knowledge. It was so easy following your directions and with no stress to me. Five out of five stars and I highly recommend your video to all.
thank you so very much Mr. The Photo Show! I have been wreckin my brain on how to update the firmware. I finally was able to update after seeing your video and ordering a sd card reader. lol I love your videos. they are clear, easy, & just amazing! keep up the great work
To Carolyn G: Thank you very much for your kind comments. I am really glad that the videos are proving useful. if there is any areas you would like to see videos on, let me know and I will do my best.
+Andreas Toro you will need to check the Firmware version on your camera and compare to the latest version on Nikon's website. If the numbers match you have the latest version if not you can update it.
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have watched your video repeatedly to familiarize with its context. I also managed to communicate with the Nikon agents in NZ and in particular the top men for the job. Together, via telephone we were able to carry out the instructions supplied verbatim. After several attempts we gave up due to the failure to to firmure the camera. Should you update to C1.03 I would be most grateful to know how it is done. Cheers
+samuel grau I will have a look at Nikon's site and see if there is any difference. I will be looking at the European site though but the instructions should be the same.
Now I have been informed that there is a new firmware for the camera C1.03 - I have tried unsuccessfully to update to this latest firmware according to the written instructions supplied which by the way they appear to be exactly the same you have shown in your Utube for the C1.02 update.
So can you update the firmware from a 1.2 to a 1.4? Probably a stupid question but I thought I’d ask. Also what does formatting an SD card do? I’m new to this and learning as I go I’m sorry. Thanks in advance!
Hi Kaylee, there's no such thing as a stupid question, I don't think there is any issue updating the firmware from 1.2 to 1.4, it is only minor changes that are made each time. The rreason for formatting the SD card is to make sure it has no other files on it that could disrupt the update process. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Hi Don, the camera will only access the update from the SD card, there is no way to navigate to a file on a computer from the camera. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Wouldn't things be easier if you used a card just for the update, saving the pix on the existing card? And how much capacity would you need for an update card?
Yes you could have a separate card just for the update, they are not big file sizes. It is not something that needs doing very often so I just showed a method using an existing card. Personally I download images from my cards straight away so I rarely have many on the card. Thanks again, Dave.
Thanks for your video. could you advise me please. My D7100 is an Asian import and I live in the UK. would I have to select Asia for the firmware update? I have tried using UK firmware selection and although see the firmware on the SD card the camera is not recognising it.
Hi Jesper, the update has to be read from the memory card. It uses the same card that you store the photos on, in the camera. I hope this helps. Have fun, Dave.
Hi, I have not come across this problem before, if the camera is still working then you have not done anything that problematic. The bin file will not show on the camera only the firmware number. See which number your camera has and reference it with the updates number. Good luck, thank you for watching, Dave.
It maybe that the camera will need to be taken for repair! Before that I would remove the battery and sd cards., then replace the battery and see if the camera turns on. If it does try re-setting it to factory defaults. This is done by holding down the iso button and the +/- button at the same time for more than two seconds. (both buttons have a green dot next to them). If none of this works you will need to find a camera repair shop or return the camera to Nikon for repair. Good luck, Dave.
Hey someone helped me do this. When you update the firmware for C, are you able to put new lenses on the camera. I want the AF-p 70-300 lens f4.5-5.6 ed VR on my Nikon d7100 and it said you need a firmware for those lens. The number for C is 1.03 and for L 1.08. Please respond.
Hey I did the distortion control data. I think I forgot to format my memory card but I had not taken any photos with it on my Nikon d7100. But I had taken pictures with the memory card on another camera and I deleted all the photos on that camera. I just hope nothing goes wrong with my Nikon d7100 after forgetting to format the memory card. But again I had not taken any pictures with memory card inside my Nikon d7100. Do you think something will go wrong?
If you have not already performed the update, I would recommend formatting the card and starting again. If you have done it and the camera is still functioning then you are probably OK. Good luck, have fun, Dave.
The Photo Show thanks But I had no taken any pictures with card in the Nikon d7100. I formatted it after the update. I just forgot to do it before the update. But the card all ready had 0 photos. So everything should be alright I'm guessing? The camera is functioning properly. I just hope it doesn't mess up later on.
The L version is an update for lens profiles. It can be updated exactly the same way but only after the C version is updated. They need to be done separately.
Can Nikon release firmware updates to improve buffer performance in the cameras? If they can, then they should do it to the D7100 because the buffer is so small.
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it! Most times these updates are for features that you will never, ever use, so why risk making your camera into a brick? It's not worth it!
Dev Vickers.I had another go following your steps and hallelujah I cracked the update to the firmware on D7100. I more then pleased since I am nearing my 83 birthday. Chders
+samuel grau brilliant, I am really pleased you were successful. Enjoy your 83rd birthday. All the best, Dave.

Brilliant! I am glad it was useful. Thank you for the comment.

Hi Adam, No problem at all, thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Can I uses the cords that come with the camera and connect them to my imac to accomplish this?
thanks bro... mine is way of from 1.01 to 1.03 as i thought i cant update the camera without the CD and the cable..tumb up for this video
No problem, glad it was useful. Thanks for watching, have fun, Dave.
+Ianiii91 The firmware update will not effect any settings you have made to your camera. Just make sure you have a full battery before you update.
oh my god,to you still have the 1.02 update file? I really need it but nikon only offers 1.03 now :(
where can we download 1.02?
Randy Garrido oh
thanx..... well done.... hope see more from you.
My pleasure, Thank you for watching. Have fun, Dave.
very well explained now I just have to get me another d7100.
Cajun Woodworking Thank you for your comment.

Thank you very much! Took the pressure off.
Bernays Thurston Glad it was useful.
What did Nikon add to the Camera in the update?
Thank you helping us
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thanks. But couldn't you go direct from camera to computer? Your VBogs are very good. I have gone thru most of them.
Hi Don, the camera will only access the update from the SD card, there is no way to navigate to a file on a computer from the camera. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
great and clear tutorial
thanks
thank you very clear instruction, You do an excellent job! Thanks JVC
Thank you for watching. I am glad the video was useful.
Nice job.Many thanks !!!
+Κυριάκος Παπαχριστοφίλου Thank you for your comments.
Excellent video... easy to follow....
Thank you, I am glad you liked it.
Very good instruction. Was amused that you say Nick-kon rather than Ni-kon.
What about the distortion control update?
+glendor2 It is exactly the same process, you just need to do one update at a time.
+The Photo Show It worked for both. It's hard to believe that a simple firmware upgrade can make a great camera even better!!
thx=)
No problem, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Very well explained, thank you.
Great video!:Thank you!
+Don Pointer Thank you for watching.
Great instruction. Extremely helpfuL!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching, I am glad it was useful. Have fun, Dave.
Very helpful thank you!
+William Gagne No problem I am glad it was useful.
I am updating a D7200 and I use Tamron lenses will this be any problem for the function of the lenses ?
Thanks a lot, well explained !!
My pleasure, thank you for watching.
Wouldn't things be easier if you used a card just for the update, saving the pix on the existing card? And how much capacity would you need for an update card?
Yes you could have a separate card just for the update, they are not big file sizes. It is not something that needs doing very often so I just showed a method using an existing card. Personally I download images from my cards straight away so I rarely have many on the card. Thanks again, Dave.
nice video sir. ty
Thank you very much.
Many Thanks!
+Marcin Leśniak My pleasure, thank you for the comment.
Thanks for your video. could you advise me please. My D7100 is an Asian import and I live in the UK. would I have to select Asia for the firmware update? I have tried using UK firmware selection and although see the firmware on the SD card the camera is not recognising it.
I just bought my D7100. Does it have the latest firmware automatically or do I have to update it? Thanks.
thank you good job and good help
+anuruddha priyasad Thank you for your comments. I am glad it was useful.
Hey there whats the advantage of updating it?
thanks you very much!
+Vo Ba Tuoc My pleasure, thank you for the comment.
I updated the C firmware, but can't find the L firmware update on the Nikon website.
So can you tell me just what was that update for anyways thanks
Excellent! Thank you!
+Terry Cox Thank you watching.
Very helpful thanks
Is it possible to update the firmware by plugging the camera into my laptop? I don't have any way of putting the memory card in.
Hi Jesper, the update has to be read from the memory card. It uses the same card that you store the photos on, in the camera. I hope this helps. Have fun, Dave.
thank you very clear instruction
+suresh mahatheva Thank you for watching. Have fun.
Does it actually do anything noticeable different.
Hi Justin, to be honest, no! It is just a good idea to keep the firmware updated.
Hi sir plz tell me how to converd fhoto in fhone plz . . Do or nat
thanks for the effort
Mahmoud Eid Thank you for your comment.
can not find the other update on nikons site
Joachim Maldaos The L: update is called Distortion Control Data version 2.
hello, i did everything right but in my camera it does not show the bin. file the update does not show up, do you know why? thanks
Hi, I have not come across this problem before, if the camera is still working then you have not done anything that problematic. The bin file will not show on the camera only the firmware number. See which number your camera has and reference it with the updates number. Good luck, thank you for watching, Dave.
@@ThePhotoShow thanks for the respond!
what about the L version update?
Hi Juan, it is exactly the same process you just need to have done this update first. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Hi .. I did the update but I closed the camera at the time of update Now the camera does not work What do I do
It maybe that the camera will need to be taken for repair! Before that I would remove the battery and sd cards., then replace the battery and see if the camera turns on. If it does try re-setting it to factory defaults. This is done by holding down the iso button and the +/- button at the same time for more than two seconds. (both buttons have a green dot next to them). If none of this works you will need to find a camera repair shop or return the camera to Nikon for repair. Good luck, Dave.
Unfortunately I did it but nothing happened. Thank you
Sorry to hear that! Your best bet will be to find a Nikon repair dealer or camera shop, they should be able to get it back working. Good luck, Dave.
It’s 2022 and Nikon just have a firmware update on d7100.
Not quite, the video was made 7 years ago.
bt y i have to write down to old version no ??
+Mstr Perfect It is just to reference the version with what is available for updating. You can just check from your camera. Thank you for the comment.
Hey someone helped me do this. When you update the firmware for C, are you able to put new lenses on the camera. I want the AF-p 70-300 lens f4.5-5.6 ed VR on my Nikon d7100 and it said you need a firmware for those lens. The number for C is 1.03 and for L 1.08. Please respond.
Nikon does say that a firmware update may be needed for that lens. If you update to the latest version it should be all good.
thanks
My pleasure, thank you for watching.

Brilliant, what about the L version matey
The L version is an update for lens profiles. It can be updated exactly the same way but only after the C version is updated. They need to be done separately.
Where is the L version, not found on Nikon web page.
Can Nikon release firmware updates to improve buffer performance in the cameras? If they can, then they should do it to the D7100 because the buffer is so small.
Do you need a computer to do this?
Yes you will need a computer to download the update and transfer it to your SD card. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
The Photo Show What happens when you format the memory card? Do all the pictures get deleted?
Formatting the card will delete all the images and ensure it is ready for the camera update.
can you do this via USB cable>?
Nikon recommend not updating via USB cable. If connection is lost during the update it could ruin the camera systems.
ok. thanks.
What does this do ??
how about updating the L, 1.009?
The process would be exactly the same, you just have to do the C update first. Good luck.
I just cannot get my computer to read my flash card. maybe my software not up to date.
great video but all the icons on your screen triggered my OCD
Thank you for watching. I'll clean up my desk top for you.
Haha I was trying to be funny, I really appreciate the video. Thank you very much.
Never format a card with stuff on it that you want to keep. This guy should have mentioned that.
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it! Most times these updates are for features that you will never, ever use, so why risk making your camera into a brick? It's not worth it!
