Originally posted by MarkJerling Gosh, that's terrible. For me, part 1/2 went quite fast, probably no more than a minute, although I did not time it. 2/2 took longer, probably about 3-4 minutes. Too late now, but never turn off the camera when doing a firmware update. What happens now if you turn the camera on? Or, what happens now if you try to run the update again?
No way to turn it on again ... it is fully dead - no lights - nothing ...
After 20 minutes of "updating" I knew something went wrong ... and the screen flickered
sometimes shortly - as if to start over again. My only chance was to turn it off and try again
before batteries would finish the trip anyway.
Update 1.15 went fine - last time - everything was OK with the camera, I think. The only thing
strange to me was that it didn't work together with HDMI Out (but I suspected the cable connection)
It didn't turn off the screen when I connected it - so maybe some small software problem was there ?
EDIT:
But I have to say it didn't even start to update 4 times before - it only showed the firmware
status ...This should have alarmed me that something may have gone wrong with the data
and better download it again and then unzip it again ... Now these thoughts come to late of
course ... The file may have been corrupt ... or the camera had a hidden mistake allready,
that I just wasn't aware of.
When those first updates didn't start - I again formatted the card - and put the bin on again.
I did this formatting in camera - and in the card reader, both. Didn't make a difference.
Why the fifth time it started the update procedure and stopped for 20 minutes in part 1/2 I
can't imagine. I doubted waiting even longer than 20 Minutes could not do any better.
