Well first off there are two updates available... One is the "C" update, the other is the Lens Distortion Correction update.

The Firmware C update downloads a compressed file you need to first unzip. A new folder will be created and you then move the resulting .bin file in that folder onto your SD card. From there you do a firmware update from the camera menu like you would any other.

The Lens Distortion update downloads a compressed file as well that also needs to be unzipped. The resulting .exe file needs to be run on your computer and will also generate a new folder with a .bin file inside it. This .bin file will need to be copied to the SD card like before and you do another a firmware update from the camera menu.

I hope that helps.

Wow ... I completely missed the second step after getting the Firmware C update loaded. Thanks for pointing that out HF!
