If you followed the link, it takes you to the page with all the info... Specifics are as follows..

Modifications enabled with this upgrade of firmware, release date June 25, 2013

  • When images captured using a flash in Manual or Repeating flash flash mode were played back with the “Overview” display enabled, flash output level was displayed in the flash compensation portion of the display. This issue has been resolved.
  • When the AE/AF lock button was pressed with Special Effects mode enabled, Selective Color selected, and the view magnified with selective color options displayed in live view, the image did not change while live view was active. This issue has been resolved.
    An issue that caused the Viewfinder Virtual Horizon to freeze when certain operations were performed has been resolved.
  • When images captured with white balance bracketing enabled were played back, a white balance fine-tuning value of 9 (steps) was displayed even for images captured with a fine-tuning value of 10 (steps) applied. This issue has been resolved.
  • An issue that prevented cursor movement when certain operations were performed in calendar playback mode has been resolved.
  • The size of some text displayed in calendar playback mode has been modified.
  • Display of focal lengths in 35mm [135] format recorded in image Exif data has been corrected.
  • With movie recording at 1920 × 1080/24p in M exposure mode, subject brightness did not change, even when shutter speed was adjusted. This issue has been resolved

Nothing was earth shattering but it was easy enough to update...

​What is the name of the file you copied onto the sd card?

OK so it's the .dmg file. Double click it and it will open and show you a folder. Inside that folder is the .bin file and that is the file you need to drag onto your mounted sd card.

1. Attach your card reader to the MacBook.
2. (Starting with a freshly formatted in the camera SD card) Insert your SD card so that it shows up on your desktop
3. Now drag and drop the .bin file onto the SD card so it copies onto the card
4. Now double click the SD card to see the contents, confirming that you successfully copied the .bin file to your card
5. If you were successful with step 4 then you're ready to insert the card into slot 1 of the camera and perform the update

​Does this help?

Don... Are you on a Mac? The DMG file is a Mac package file that gets executed on the Mac and creates folders on the Mac that contain files that then get dragged to the SD card

That is NOT the correct file...


It is D7100_0101.bin..........

These are the instruction:

Upgrade instructions: for detailed instructions, see pdf files below. Please read carefully before proceeding.
  1. Create a new folder with an appropriate name on your computer.
  2. Choose the correct download below for the computer system you are using, and save the download to the folder created in step 1.
  3. Run the downloaded file to create the folder titled D7100Update, containing the following file: D7100_0101.bin
  4. Format an approved memory card in the camera, then remove .
  5. Copy the D7100_0101.bin file to the top level of the memory card using a memory card reader or similar device, do not copy the file into any folder on the memory card.
  6. Insert memory card into the cameras memory card slot, and switch on.
  7. Select Firmware Version from the setup menu and follow the instructions displayed to upgrade the camera's firmware.
  8. DO NOT switch off the camera at any time during the update, doing so may result in the need for service.
  9. After the upgrade is complete, trun the camera off and remove the memory card.
  10. Check the cameras firmware version to be sure it completed.
  11. Format memory card in camera for use.
You basically RUN the file you download, it creates a folder with the D7100_0101.bin file.. That is what you copy to your card.
