Updating the Camera Firmware
Create a folder on the computer hard disk and name it as desired.
Download F-W100-V16W.exe to the folder created in Step 1.
Run F-W100-V16W.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.
Note: Be sure to copy the “firmware” folder to the root (top-most) directory of the memory card. The camera will not recognize the new firmware if it is placed in a folder under the root directory.
Insert the memory card into the camera and turn the camera on.
Select Firmware version in Settings > Camera settings and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
Once the update is complete, turn the camera off and remove the memory card.
Confirm that the firmware has been updated to the new version.
Note: We recommend that you back up images stored in the camera’s internal memory before updating the firmware. See the camera manual for information on copying images from internal memory to a memory card.
