Updating the Camera Firmware
Create a folder on the computer hard disk and name it as desired.
Download F-P610-V13W.exe to the folder created in Step 1.
Run F-P610-V13W.exe to extract the firmware to a sub-folder in the new folder. The resulting file and folder hierarchy is shown below:
• firmware (the sub-folder containing the firmware)
• firmware.bin (the camera firmware, located in the “firmware” folder)
Using a card slot or card reader, copy the “firmware” folder to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera.
