How To Upgrade Your Firmware

Once you download the firmware the next thing you need to do is have a USB Thumb Drive formatted to FAT32.  Please note this is not the default file system used for either Mac or PC and by formatting your thumb drive in this way it will erase all data that is currently on the thumb drive. You must also use a thumb drive and NOT a USB cable from your computer.

Copy the current firmware file to the FAT32 thumb drive (Note: FILENAME MUST BE EVFUPDATE.fw)

Insert thumb drive into EVF USB port

Select UPDATE from the EVF menu

Select USB DRIVE

Select START UPDATE
