Select this choice to update the firmware in the
camera back, the nonvolatile memory containing the control
programming for the camera back. The firmware controls
most of the features of the camera back.
When you click this button, the software driver looks for a
“BIN” file (for example DCS465.BIN), which must be in-
stalled as described in chapter 5. The contents of the file are
transferred into the firmware in the camera back. An error
message is displayed if the required “BIN” file is not found.
This feature allows you to keep the firmware in the camera
back up-to-date without sending the camera back to a
service center, since new versions of the file that you may
obtain can be copied to the camera back with this com-
mand. It also allows you to replace the firmware in the
camera back with the same version if the firmware in the
camera back is acting erratically.
