If it looks like MY images from the 70s and 80s then I can certainly do without it!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Ensure you have the right firmware for the camera, that you have extracted the .Bin file onto the SD card and that you must use slot 1 in the camera.

yup...did all that...still no luck.

It could be that it can't 'read' the card, hence nothing but normal screen, so either the card/contacts or file is the cause. Try reseating any card in slot 1 a few times to clean it in effect, my update went ok with the DCIM folder still there after formatting in camera FWIW. as another in here had problems and removed the dcim folder. Someone could advise another cleaning method perhaps? :

I've tried with the bin file inside the DCIM file and I've tried with it outside the DCIM file...neither works.

Doesn't it have to be the only file on the card? At the top level?
SteveH!

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

Not sure if it helps but I take the memory card out of the camera and place in the card reader. On the PC a perform a quick format of the Sd card and make sure there isn't a 'name' attached to the SD card and it's blank.

Once formatted, I place the Bin file onto the formatted SD card.

Whip it out, put back in camera, battery fully charged, press menu and hold in and turn camera on and voila. Works everytime for me.

I did more or less the same but using an sd card that I keep just for FW updates and it worked with no problem.
Fwiw I did notice that the file name is identical to the previous FW update file !

If you format the memory card there should be no DCIM file.

Memory card should be totally empty, nothing on it, formatted and the Bin file placed onto the empty SD card.
