When using Nikon View 6 in combination with Nikon Capture 3 or Capture 4, be sure to use the latest versions of both (Nikon View and Nikon Capture) applications.

Before using Nikon View 6.2, all earlier versions of Nikon View (Nikon View 900, Nikon View 2.x, Nikon View DX, Nikon View 3.x, Nikon View 4.x, Nikon View 5.x, Nikon View 6.0) as well as Nikon Capture 1.x must be uninstalled.

If you have never connected your Nikon digital camera to your computer and are using Windows 98SE or a Coolpix 880, Coolpix 990 or D-1 series you will also need to download the camera drivers. However, the memory card from serial-connection Nikon digital cameras (Coolpix 700, 800, 880 serial, 900, 950, 990 serial) can be removed from the camera and inserted in a card reader or PC card slot and pictures transferred to the computer using Nikon View 6.1.0. Go to the setup menu and go through the firmware update process.This version of Nikon View does not support serial computer connections. bin file over to the Z7 root storage folder.

Choose the Z7 camera and then you have to specifically choose root storage. Connect the cable and then open File Explorer (assuming Windows). At least when I did it, it looks like it doesn’t work. Is the Z7 different ?įor the D850 I have to use an SD card to copy the firmware to it - my computer has a built-in reader - then move the card to the camera. I was not able to do it on my D850 using the XQD card because it does not allow me to copy the update to the root directory when the camera is attached to a computer with a USB cable.

I just did it myself using a USB cable and it works.

It says this in the firmware update instructions at the download site. As I suspected, you can update the firmware on the camera using a USB cable.
