If the cameras sat for a while unused it could have just gone flat, the main battery is what charges it, and keeps it charged. It's not a D.I.Y job for most people to replace, and not really worth cost to pay someone to do it. It will be the internal battery thats dead or flat. It's good that you've finally got it updated. If you just downloaded the whole lot to the card, it wouldn't have worked. ĭid you download the file directly to the CF card, or did you do what the download instructions said, as I said above ? When done, turn off the camera, and when you turn it back on, format the card again. If you have a mains adapter for the camera, plug that in as well.

Just remember to make sure you have a fully charged, good condition battery installed. Using this method I've never had a problem updating a cameras firmware, Minolta, Sony, Nikon or Canon. The LCD should now show the message, "Do you want to update the firmware", and click "YES". Ħ Put the card back in the camera, turn camera "ON", press "Play Image". Now drag and drop the two files that you saved to the desktop over and drop them in the CF card.

ĥ Plug your card & card reader into the USB, bring up the screen on your P.C that shows the drives. ( forget about trying to install the update via the USB lead ).Ĥ Open the file and save the two seperate files onto your desktop. Ģ take it out of the camera and put it in a card reader. ġ Format the Compact Flash memory card in the camera. The way I found to do it in a way that always works is the following. I remember when I tried doing the first firmware update on a camera it wouldn't work.
