I didn't, wasn't aware of it. Just tried it, and right now the camera is updating. Thank you very much for your help :-)

I've just acquired the Pentax 645z and found that it is running on Firmware version 1.00. Obviously i would like to update the firmware to the latest version, and gave it a try. Here's what i did - Downloaded the firmware ver 1.20 to my laptop (Mac)
- Extracted the bin file
- Formatted a SanDisk 32Gb Extreme Pro SD Card in the camera
- Copied the bin file to the root directory of the SD Card
- Ejected the card from the laptop
- Turned the camera off
- entered the SD card into slot 1 (the manual said that only slot 1 will be able to read the firmware)
- turn the camera on
- ..... and then nothing happened
I have now tried with several other SanDisk SD cards - older and newer cards and same result every time - nothing happens.
Have anyone else had the same issue and found a resolution? Any clue or help would be highly appreciated.
My thanks
