I was trying to follow your advice but my z7ii did not even see the update on the SD card until I realised that you have to have the SD card as the primary card, I had mine as a back-up card, then it recognised the update.

I just upgraded to a Z 8 and a few days later installed FW version 2. There was one detail that was different. Before: (Windows) (a) download file of .exe type and this is a self-extracting archive (zip) file. Once done (b) extracting, we have a .bin file that is the binary holding the new firmware. That .bin file needs to get (c) copied to the root folder of a memory card that next is (d) placed in the camera and from there can be (e) installed (provided enough juice in the battery). New: (Windows) the download file is the .bin file already. This replaces (a) and (b) by "download the .bin file" and (c) .. (e) stay the same

Thanks! They changed which file type they download on the most recent updates for each camera system - I probably need to pin a comment and/or update the video description!

Thanks for the video. For the update from 1.41 to 1.50 on a Mac, I only get the choice of a .bin file. Is that normal?

Z fc? The .bin file should be what you need. Here’s the instructions on the Nikon site and they reference the .bin file: downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/506.html Hope that helps!

when I try to download the firmware it is in .bin format which is "an unsupported format". Now what do I do?
@JeffreyTadlockPhotography

It looks like in the most recent firmware update, Nikon provided the .bin file for download directly. So no need to extract a file, just copy the .bin file to the memory card for updating. Hope that helps!

Make sure to follow these steps, I'll include the "gotcha's" below the steps to watch out for: 1. Make sure you have the downloaded firmware file on your computer. • Z_8_0200.bin (the camera firmware) 2. Copy “Z_8_0200.bin” to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera. Note: Be sure to copy the firmware to the root (top-most) directory of the memory card. The camera will not recognize the firmware if it is placed in a folder under the root directory. 3. Insert the memory card into Slot 1 on the camera and turn the camera on. 4. Select [Firmware version] in the [SETUP MENU] and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update. 5. Once the update is complete, turn the camera off and remove the memory card. The key things to watch for. -Make sure it is the 2.0 version of the firmware for the Z8 (you can tell by the file name) - Make sure it is the .bin file in the root of the memory card -Make sure the .bin file is not in a sub-directory, needs to be in the root of the memory card - The memory card needs to be in Slot 1 of the camera. Those are the common reasons why the update might not proceed as expected. Hope that helps.

Thank you for this amazing video! I run into one problem that after I downloaded a file from Nikon Download Center, I double clicked the 'dmg' file and it does not show the 'exe' file. I tried this on another computer, and have the same problem. Do you have any advice? Thank you.

Are you updating using a Mac computer or Windows? The dmg file is for when updating the firmware from a Mac, and it should have a .bin file in it. That’s what gets copied to the memory card. Does that help?

I am not sure on that. To my understanding the cameras might only have a small set of languages on it depending on which region of the world it was intended for. I am not sure how to get a version of firmware with the correct regional language on it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
