Hi Everyone.
I just recently bought a used DMC LX3K , and would like to upgrade the LX3 Firmware 1.2.
I've searched at Panasonic website, but couldn't find the 1.2 exe. Can someone please point me to the right direction to download the 1.2 firmware.
Thanks.

Ensure you switch to playback mode & battery fully charge in order to upgrade the firmware.

You must have save it inside the DCIM folder. Try to save out side, not in any folders den insert the sd card back to your LX3...
