Thanks, Alf, that's the site I went to to get the updated firmware. There are a number of reasons, however, why this is not going to be as straightforward as I'd thought, not least amongst them my lack of competence
Firstly, the camera I've got has only the very earliest firmware installed and it seems I need to do the update in at least two steps; and secondly I don't use any microsoft OS's, just Ubuntu. Not insurmountable, any of it, just confusing for an old fart like me! I have the distinct impression that Nikon stuff is infamous for the ease with which this kind of thing can go awry so I'm going to have to do a lot of reading and then switch off the 'phone for a few hors one day and sit here until it's done. But before that I'm trying to think of somebody nearby who'll just say "Oh that stuff - ten minute job, bring it 'round and I'll sort it for you".........
