It is recommended that changing the camera’s firmware be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has been encountering, or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful for you. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible. On the other hand, downgrading the camera’s firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty or the device’s performance dropped after an upgrade. Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your camera can improve the device’s overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones. Confirm that the firmware has been updated to the new version. Once the update is complete, turn the camera off and remove the memory card.

Select Firmware version in the SETUP MENU and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update. Insert the memory card into the Slot 1 on the camera and turn the camera on. Using a card slot or card reader, copy “D7200_0101.bin” to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera. Run F-D7200-V101W.exe to extract the following file to a folder named “D7200Update”: Download F-D7200-V101W.exe to the folder created in Step 1. Create a folder on the computer hard disk and name it as desired. After updating to firmware version 1.01, select Save/load settings > Load settings in the SETUP MENU to reload the saved settings. Select Save/load settings > Save settings in the camera SETUP MENU to save settings to the memory card (note that the date and time, file number, folder name, and custom Picture Controls are not saved). We recommend that you save settings before performing the update.

Updating to firmware version 1.01 resets menu settings for cameras with firmware that displays as “A X.XX”, “B X.XX”, “L X.XXX”, “D X.XX”, “L X.XX”, or the like. February 29th would sometimes not display correctly in leap years.

Exposure compensation would fail to produce the desired results if a negative value was selected when NEF (RAW) images were processed using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the RETOUCH MENU. About 4 seconds of static could be heard on audio recorded with external HDMI recorders during movie live view.

Selecting Firmware version in the SETUP MENU would not display “C X.XX L X.XXX”. Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.00 to 1.01
