The “Firmware Uploader Software for the E5000 Ver.1.6” is a computer
program that updates the firmware in your COOLPIX 5000 (E-5000). The
firmware is a program, which runs inside the camera and controls its
operation. By running the Uploader Software you will install the new firmware
in the camera.

The process of transferring the new firmware from the computer to the
camera is sometimes called “Uploading,” “Upgrading” or “Updating” the
firmware.

If your camera is version 1.5 it is recommended that you update the firmware
in your camera to 1.6 in order to benefit from improved operating
performance.

The entire package (Uploader software and new firmware for the camera) is
supplied in a single file, which is compressed for distribution over the Internet.
Before performing a firmware update, you must de-compress the files back to
their original format.
