After we make sure that the firmware we are going to upgrade is a newer version, next are the steps on how to upgrade Nikon firmware, with nikon D5200 as a test material.

2. Firmware download (for nikon D5200 file name "F-D5200-V103W.exe") and save it in the folder created in Step 1.
3. Run F-D5200-V103W.exe to parse the following files into a folder named "D5200Update": D5200_0103.bin (i.e. camera firmware)
4. Using the card slot or card reader, copy "D5200_0103.bin" to the formatted memory card in the camera.
5. Insert the memory card into the camera and turn on the camera.
6. Select Firmware version in the setup menu and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update.
