Before doing any firmware updates, be sure and turn the "auto off"
feature off! (Usually, your camera will time out and turn off after
a few minutes of non-use, depending on the setting. While updating,
you don't want the camera to time out, and it might be confused and
think you're not "using" it!) I would use the A/C power too, just
in case the battery ran out. (Can't be too paranoid!) Follow the
instructions that came with the update, as Nikon might have
additional recommendations (or perhaps alternates to mine?).
Did you try resetting the camera (by removing the batteries)? You
might try the process over again and see if it "takes". It is
possible, however, to ruin a camera if it only got partially updated
to the point where it'll have to be sent to Nikon for repair
Good luck,
Gary
