You start by going here.

Expand "Updating the Camera Firmware"

Follow each step exactly without trying any shortcuts.

When you are done, you have the latest firmware in your camera.

Download the update file to your computer.

Expand the archive file you just downloaded.

Copy the file(s) that you just expanded to the root of a memory card using a card reader.

Put the card in your camera and follow the procedure to update the firmware as outlined at the link in post #2.
