Sounds like the camera is locked up... Remove the battery from the camera, and make sure you have a freshly formatted SD card... Use the Mac Finder to remove/Trash everything on the memory card...

Ok will try that.
No that didn't work.
I think its not downloading to card even after deleting everything and starting over from beginning.
Well thanks for the help I don't want too hold you up all day.
Will wait to I get back home from off the road.
Again Thanks for all the help, you have been great and so kind with your time.

Download the file to your PC and open the folder.

Check the firmware on your camera...
You should see
C 1.01
L 1.008

Switch off the camera then remove both SD cards....put them somewhere safe and get a spare SD for your update.

Plug the spare into your PC , forat it if its not empty, then copy the file from the download folder into it. The file you want is named like
NKLD#####.BIN
Where #### will be the version.....you should see NKLD01009.BIN
put the card into your camera
Switch on the camera
Then go to the firmware menu and click Update. It only takes a few seconds
When done you'll see
C 1.01
L 1.009

Switch off the camera, remove the SD card and put back your original two SD Cards.

Thanks Patrick, for the reply but did all those things and it just wants to keep updating the c 1.01 firmware update from a month ago.
So like I said earlier in a post, I'm going to wait till i get back home from being on the road.
​Which won't be till august.

Newbie question.

I just got 5200 and L version of firmware is 1.006, latest version on site is 1.009. Is is possible to update firmware to last version, without need to update to 1.007 and 1.008?
Has anybody done this on 52000 with this situation successfully, without problems

Just update to the latest version; there's no need to install every incremental update in between as the latest version will contain the data from all previous versions.

A couple of points:

It is only of use to you if you shoot JPEG.

OR

If you use CNX2.

If you are a RAW shooter the Lens Profiles are applied to the NEFs in camera but are only recognised (and automatically applied) by CNX2 in PP (if your CNX2 is also up to date).

However, since no new lenses (appear to) have been added to the list between L1.006 and L1.009 it would seem that the only reason for the update would be because of revised Lens Distortion Control parameters for the existing lenses.
