SDK Version 1.5.2 is now available on the Eastman Kodak Company Developer Relations web page which is fully
compatible with this new firmware version. We apologize for this temporary inconvenience.
Known Issues
•
This firmware is not compatible with Adobe PhotoShop version 3.0.5 or older.
•
Sony Memory Sticks require extended time to complete “Full format”.
•
When using the Dual Card option, the second card should not be inserted into the camera until the red LED has
stopped blinking after insertion of the first card. Doing so will result in "Bad Card", "Invalid Card Format", or
"Defective or wrong type card" error messages. Simply remove the second card and re-insert it when the red
LED has finished blinking.
Firmware Installation Instructions
Camera firmware can be installed using the DCS Host Software or from a PC Card. For installation instructions
using the DCS Host Software, please refer to the User Manual. For installation using a PC Card, follow these steps:
1.
It is recommended that you connect your camera to the Kodak specified AC adapter for use with your camera
and/or use a fully charged battery.
Warning: A loss of power could corrupt the firmware.
2.
Insert a PC Card into the card reader on your computer.
3.
On your computer, copy the firmware file dcs3xxa.bin to the root directory of the PC Card. (Do not copy the file
to a folder on the card)
4.
Insert the PC Card into your camera.
5.
Navigate to the Main Menu on the Camera LCD.
6.
Select “Firmware” from the Main Menu.
7.
When the Firmware menu appears, select “Update From Card”.
8.
A confirmation screen will appear giving you two options. If you choose “Cancel”, the firmware will not be
updated and you’ll be returned to the Main Menu. If you choose "OK", the firmware update will continue.
9.
When the firmware has been updated, a screen will appear informing you the firmware has been updated. Press
“OK”.
10. Turn your camera Off, then On to start the new firmware.
Memory Card Compatibility
The camera accepts Type II or Type III ATA compatible storage cards, including CompactFlash cards using a Type
II adapter, IBM MicroDrives using IBM Microdrive Adapter and Sony Memory Sticks using a Memory Stick
Adapter. The physical size (thickness) of Type III media is too large to allow Dual Card option.
NOTE: Storage cards not listed below may not format correctly in the camera. The work-around is to format the
storage card using a computer and a PCMCIA card reader.
