Photography: Updating Nikon D3300 Firmware

Yesterday I had done some photography for an event and a random thought crossed my mind. "Even a niche device like a DSLR uses firmware, I wonder if there is firmware for this old camera..."

A quick search led me to an official guide on the Nikon page for the D3300 camera, in which they explain the steps.

A short summary follows:

1. Accept the terms and download the software to an empty folder and run the .exe file. This will create a .bin file within a folder called "D3300Update"


 

2. Place the .bin file on a separate, formatted, SD card


 

3. Put the SD card in your Nikon D3300, turn the camera on and press the menu button. Navigate to the firmware settings and start the update. For me the update took around 1-2 minutes. You can then turn the camera off when it tells you to and enter your regular SD card for example.
