Sorry. Stupid of me. I’ve got an A200, not the A100. Never mind.

I’ve put the files in the root directory of the card. When I hit the Play button nothing happens. Has anyone seen this?

I’ve got firmware v1.00.

I see from an earlier comment that the camera refuses to update if it’s from the wrong region. In this case, does nothing happen, or do you get an error message? Should I try a different region? Is there a way to figure out the region from something on the camera?

HI, greetings from The Netherlands.

Been downloading the last firmware 1:04 and didnt succeed in upgrading my firmware from 1:01 to the promised 1:04. The upgrade does seem to work but after restart my A100 is still on the old firmware.
The unpacked files have the date 15-12-2006 wich seems to be old and not the promised upgrade to 1:04.
Anyone has the same problem and ….even better … solved this ??

tnx and have a great day

Hi, from 1.02 do you need 1.03 first or is the jump to 1.04 OK and does that include 1.03 as well?
Cheers,
P

Editor's reply: you can go straight from any version to 1.04. No intermediate upgrade is needed.

Hi...

What update is advisable for A100 bought in LatinAmerica, Venezuela??

Editor's reply: the USA update, if it has been imported officially. This applies to the whole of the Americas. However, it seems that some Asian stock has been sold in South America, so you may need to try both. The firmware will just refuse to update the camera if you try the wrong one.
