Download firmware


After downloading and unzipping the files, you will find several folders named with the respective lenses. Within each folder, there is a file called "lens.bin". Copy the correct file corresponding to your lens type into the SD card, insert to your NX body, mount the corresponding lens to the NX body, then go to the "Firmware Update" menu item. If you own several lenses, then you have to update one at a time by copying the respective "lens.bin" file from the computer to the SD card, mounting the corresponding lenses to the NX body, and run the firmware update.
