Download and extract the appropriate files from Nikon, place the files on a camera card, install the card to your camera and run the update.

The files and the detailed steps are all covered by Nikon at:

The hardest part can be extracting the files after download, just pay attention to where you download from Nikon and where the extracted file goes to when extracted.

If you are shooting raw, this will not make any difference. Using in camera distortion control only applies to jpegs processed in the camera.

Its probably easier - and better - to do this in post processing anyway. Some software has built-in lens profiles - with DXO having the better ones, and nearly all raw converters provide a manual form of distortion adjustment - usually barrel or pincusion distortion. If you are trying to correct for something else, none of this is going to help.

Thanks for the info.

Like Gene said.... probable best to shoot in RAW and use either the camera vendor's editing app or third party software... The only caveat is if you are shooting vintage glass from Sigma/Tokina etc. then you may be out of luck since support is typically for current are recent optics... however I've found selecting similar major vendor's lens will get you close... Fine tune to taste (be sure you have grid lines turned on if you're correcting architectural stuff)... Or if you what to get serious in shooting architectural get a tilt/shift lens...

Thanks Gene...
