I'm trying to install the Russian 1.03 firmware on my Z2 so I can get RAW support, and I'm having some problems. The file I download from: http://tester13.nm.ru/nikon/z2.zip is only 19k in size, and even though it ends in .zip, neither WinZip nor WinRAR can open it, they say it's not a zip file. That size seems rather small for a firmware update, considering the official Minolta update (1.02) is almost 2mb unzipped.

Anyway, am I downloading the right file, or what, and if not can someone provide me with the right link or email it to me at [email protected]? What do I need to do to install the firmware? Thanks.

You have to click on the link, which takes you to another page, where you'll see a note to click on second link to download the file.

It's around 785kb

Thanks, that worked great

. I feel like a moron now, I should've figured that one out by myself. Now all I have to do is find some good software. IRFanview seems to work good, but Photoshop CS won't read them (the converted NEF files). I'm trying to download NikonCapture, but it's downloading at a pokey 8kb a second or something, even though I'm on dsl. Thanks.

Photoshop CS will read them, you just need an updated version of the Camera Raw Plugin: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
