1. Before upgrading the firmware

 
  ● Make sure you use fully charged batteries. It is recommended that you use an AC adaptor for cameras
        that have an AC adaptor. If fully charged batteries are not used, or the power is cut during a firmware
        upgrade, the mainboard may be seriously damaged, resulting in camera malfunction.
        If camera malfunction is caused during a firmware upgrade for the reasons given above, the mainboard
        may have to be serviced by a Samsung service centre, which may result in major repair charges. 
     
   ● Before upgrading the firmware, make sure that you format the memory card on your PC or camera and
        then download the necessary firmware file. Since the MMC(MultiMediaCard) may not be suitable for
        firmware upgrade, depending on the model, check before you proceed with upgrading the firmware. 
     
   ● Download the firmware file into the root directory of the memory card. Also check that the firmware file
       downloaded has the correct file name for the camera model. 
     
   ● To upgrade firmware there should be sufficient free space on the memory card for the size of he firmware
        file. If the firmware upgrade is not completed because of insufficient memory space, delete some of the
        files saved on the memory to secure more free space and then try again. 
     
   ● Do not operate the camera, remove the batteries, or cut the power while upgrading firmware. Operate the
        camera only after the firmware upgrade is complete. 
     
   ● Once the firmware is upgraded, it is not possible to restore the earlier version of the firmware. When the
        firmware is upgraded, all the camera settings are set to their default values. Since all the files stored in
        the internal memory (image files, MP3 files or PMP files) will be deleted, ensure that files are copied to
        other storage devices before upgrading firmware. 
     
   ● Before downloading firmware, make sure you read the Software Use Terms Conditions. The act of
       downloading the firmware is taken to mean that you have agreed to the Software Use Terms and Conditions. 

     ※ Should you need further detailed information, or if you experience difficulty in upgrading firmware, do not
          proceed with the process on your own. Visit a Samsung service centre near you.
