I have a Nikon D-700 I downloaded the firmware version 1.04/1.03 to a formatted card with the .bin file but when I go to the menu to update, I have the yes button and I can see the previous and newer firmware versions but the menu will not allow me to select it. I am stuck in the yes bar and it will not go any further. Is the camera damaged or is there another way to update this?

  • Just wondered if you actually formatted the card on the camera first and not via a computer.Card needs format via camera only.Then add the bin file.

  • I formatted by camera then copied the .bin file and I tried formatting on the computer (FAT32) and neither method worked.

  • The right hand side selector does work for other menu options, just not in the firmware upgrade options

You should not be pressing the selector button. It's asking you to press the OK button, and that is at the bottom left.

  • Formatting cards works the same way, you can click the select until the last step, then you have to click OK. Prevents you from mindlessly clicking and reformatting a card.

enter image description hereThat's correct. It's showing you the current and new firmware.

[!Here is what my screen looks like. When I depress the select button, nothing happens. I can't select the version, It is stuck at yes and won't go any further.

There is no selection other than YES, do the upgrade.
