Guys, I've updated FW many times on all my cameras, including this GRII, but can't get it to recognize that there is a FW file on my card. Gives me the option to confirm the FW version, but will not see the file and give me the option to update. I'm putting it outside of the 2 folders that are on the card after formatting. It is the .frm file after unzipping. Am I missing something obvious?

Assuming the correct file is there, low battery perhaps?

Battery freshly charged. Tried putting the file on the card with no other folders, also. File is: rg1_v051.frm

That the update for the GR, not GR II. The latest GR II firmware can be found here:

Ah, I knew it had to be something obvious (except to me). Thanks
