Preparation of update |
- Check your current firmware version, to verify that your camera can be updated.
To do this, hold down your camera's MENU button while turning the camera on.
Your camera's LCD screen will display the current version of the firmware. Make
sure the current version is prior to this update of 1.12. For example, "VER:
1.00, 1.10 and 1.11 can be updated to version 1.12.
- Prepare a CF memory card with maximum memory capacity of 4GB for use in updating.
This Compact Flash card should be freshly formatted by your camera or otherwise
be empty of all files.
- USB cable ( I – USB2)
- Have your AC adapter (K-AC10) ready for use during the update, or make sure your
batteries are fresh and have a full charge. If the power of the camera goes off
due to a battery power shortage or any other reason during updating, the camera
may become in-operatable unless repaired. If a repair is required as a result
of a power shortage or mishandling during firmware updating, repair fees will
be charged even if the camera is still under warranty.
