Nikon has rolled out a new firmware package developed for its D5600, D850, and D7500 digital cameras, namely version 1.10, which manages to add support for direct wireless connections to devices running SnapBridge (version 2.5.4 or later).

In addition to that, Nikon resolves the Touch Fn issues that affected its D5600 camera and makes sure the D850 unit doesn’t have any problems when focusing on subjects regarding the focus points at the edges of the frame.

When it comes to the D7500 device, Nikon removes a bug that didn’t allow ISO sensitivity to change when the mode dial was rotated from P to U1 and then back to P, and ensures the device behaves properly when pressing the zoom in and zoom out buttons repeatedly during movie live view.

With this in mind, if these bugs mentioned above have bothered you and want to get rid of them, save and run the appropriate package for your computer’s operating system (available for both Mac OS and Windows platforms), and transfer the .bin file onto a formatted memory card.

Afterward, insert the card into the appropriate slot, make sure the camera has a fully charged battery, turn on the imaging unit, go to Setup Menu > Firmware Version > Update, select “OK,” and agree with all messages that will be displayed.

Once completed, check the currently installed firmware to make sure the 1.10 version has been applied correctly, and remove and format the memory card before using it again.

However, during the installation, it is highly recommended not to disconnect the battery/SD card, open the battery cover, or make use of any buttons. Doing so can interrupt the upgrade, and might lead to various malfunctions.

That said, download the proper firmware package using the links below, carefully apply it to your unit, and check back with us as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
