Nikon Egypt
Nikon today updated the distortion correction tables for all their lenses, bringing things up to date even for the lenses just shipping this week. This update is a little tricky, because the D90, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100, D7000, D4, D800, and D800E use this table (users of older cameras can't use this update). Rather than issue individual camera updates, there is now a lens table update process that's the same for all affected cameras. We now have a new type of firmware update file in the form NKLD####.BIN, where the #### would indicate the update.
If you look at the Firmware Version menu item on your camera (if it's one of the ones on the list, above), you'll find an L version number, probably L1.04 if you've been updating regularly. The new file you want to update with is NKLD1006.BIN, and it uses the typical firmware update instructions (copy file to the root of your card, use Firmware Version->Update to start the update process).
But new to this release is a file extractor tool (at least on the Mac, not sure about Windows): you download the extractor, not the binary update file itself. You then run the extractor, which puts a Nikon folder with the right binary file on your desktop. Copy the .BIN file in that folder to your card (your camera doesn't need the legal disclaimer also put in the folder ;~).
