Nissin MG80 Pro Flash Firmware Update Instructions

Nissin MG80 Pro flashes have user-upgradeable firmware. That means that you can update the internal software that runs the MG80 Pro in order to add compatibility with new cameras, fix problems, or to add features.

The MG80 Pro's firmware can be updated by downloading current firmware files to a MicroSD card (FAT32 formatted) and inserting the MicroSD card into the MG80 Pro flash to perform the update.

How to Check a MG80 Pro Flash's Current Firmware Version:
