Originally posted by littledrawe The instructions for the firmware upgrade for the K2000 say that a memory card has to be formatted. What do they mean by that and is the upgrade stored on the memory card? Do I have to use just that memory card or format all the ones that I use in my camera? Just wondering as I am a little new to this??
Assuming a K2000 is the same as the others, it's all in the readme.txt file that unzips but here's the steps anyway...
1. Ensure your batteries are new/well charged (flat battery in the middle of the update can produce a bricked camera)
2. Download the new firmware
3. Unzip it (by running it if it's the windows .exe version, A mac user will need to unzip it)
4. Copy the .bin file to your SD card in the root folder
5. Put card in camera and turn on holding the MENU button
6. Follow the prompt to confirm loading the update
7. Once completed, turn camera off and remove SD card
8. Delete .bin file off the card.
9. Put it back in the camera (format it if you feel like it - always a good idea to format cards in camera every now and then)
10. take award winning pictures
