2.0 About software and firmware
The “Firmware Uploader Software for the E2500 Ver.1.1” is a computer program
that updates the firmware in your Coolpix 2500 (E-2500). 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 1.0 it is recommended that you update the firmware in
your camera to 1.1 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.
