Firmware update
You need a PC or MAC and a Micro B USB cable, i.e. some
Android phones’ data cable (not type C), to upgrade the
adapter.
1)
Download new firmware from Fringer’s website.
2)
Get the adapter off the camera. Make sure not to connect
the adapter with the computer while it is installed on a
camera body.
3)
Plug the USB cable to the Micro USB port shown in Figure 1.
4)
Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port of your PC or MAC. Then a mobile
drive named ‘FRINGER’ emerges. Open ‘VERSION.TXT’ on that drive and check the
current firmware version (the line begins with ‘Version:’).
5)
If upgrading is needed, copy the downloaded firmware file, e.g. EFNZ_100.BIN, to the
drive named ‘FRINGER’. Then eject the drive. Ejection is mandatory for MAC and
optional for PC. Ignore any error messages about the drive. Wait for about 20 seconds.
The adapter would disconnect itself and reconnect. The ‘FRINGER’ drive would
appear again. If it doesn’t reconnect automatically, disconnect the USB cable and
reconnect it with the computer.
6)
Check VERSION.TXT again and make sure its firmware version has changed to the new
one. You may also check the adapter’s version through the camera menu item
“Firmware version”. The number after “MA” is the adapter firmware version.
Note: Do not copy files other than the official firmware to the adapter.
Troubleshooting:
Some of the cables in the market are for charging only and not suitable for data
transfer. Thus, if you can’t find the “FRINGER” drive when the adapter is connected to
the computer, check your cable!
