Upgrading the D70 Firmware
"Windows"
Thank you for choosing a Nikon product. This guide describes
how to upgrade the camera firmware for the D70.
If you are not confident that you can perform the update
successfully, the update can be performed by a Nikon service
representative.
The D70 has two sets of firmware, A and B, which must be updated separately. After
updating the A firmware, repeat steps 4-5, below, to upgrade the B firmware.
Important
The D70 may be damaged if power is interrupted or camera controls are operated during the
update. Do not turn the camera off, remove or disconnect the power source, or operate camera
controls during the update. If the update is not completed successfully and the camera becomes
inoperable, take the D70 to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.
Get ready
To upgrade the firmware for the D70, you will need:
A Nikon D70 digital SLR camera
A UC-E4 USB cable or a CompactFlash card reader
One of the following power sources:
An EH-5 AC adapter
A fully-charged EN-EL3 rechargeable battery
A Nikon-approved CompactFlash memory card that has been formatted in the
D70 (do not use Microdrive cards).
