Nikon D5 firmware upgrade
Apr 17, 2024 00:30:26 #
I just received a used Nikon D5 (in really good shape), but its firmware is 1.00, and the latest version is 1.50.
Can I just use the file that upgrades from 1.40 to 1.50 or do I have to find other upgrade files to upgrade by steps?

Each Nikon firmware upgrade is a full replacement of all the previous upgrades. The D5 firmware upgrade1.50 will contain everything from 1.00 on. There is no reason to upgrade it by steps.

The last and current firmware update should include all total updates. Incremental steps are not needed.

Steve Perry has a video on exactly how to do that.

You don't need to upgrade in increments, just install the latest upgrade. Think of it as the latest software that includes all prior software fixes and improvements. Follow instructions on the Nikon web site to install it. Don't forget the distortion control data file which may also be out of date on your camera.
