Firmware upgrade for *ist

alanswan · 7th September 2006

There's a firmware upgrade for *ist.
It's to allow *ist to use the new high capacity SDHC cards. SDHC cards have the same form factor as SD cards but allow for capacities of 4 GB or greater (by using sector addressing rather than byte addressing).
The link to the firmware download and instructions can found here http://www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06...hcfirmware.asp

yup...I installed it the moment I reached home.
very easy. Just copy the file onto the sd card and the camera will do the rest.
I don't use that format, so actually no gain for me but what the heck..now I have the latest firmware...heh heh
