Well, sorry to dissapoint but it is a new upgrade for me - I checked last night and I'm on V1.0!
I have looked at the manual to see how to do this but there seems to be nothing there, is it just a case of plugging the camera into the USB port?
Also, I am very happy with the way the camera performs - can I expect and instant increase in the quality of my photographs?

The most important part of upgrading firmware is to ensure you use a fully charged battery. It's not that it takes very long, only a couple of minutes, but if your battery dies after only one minute . . . your camera could become a doorstop.

I am having real problems with this, I have tried to download the file which it does but can't seem to extract anything.
Is it because I am upgrading from 1.00 to 1.04?
Has anyone else had problem?

The file should be a zip, open this on your PC to extract the files, one of the files will be the firmware file, copy this to the root of an SD card, using a card reader attached to your PC.
Ensure your camera battery is fully charged, put this SD card it, turn your camera on while holding the Menu button and the camera will do the rest. There will be no issue jumping from 1.00 to 1.04.

Got it, my anti virus software was blocking it.
It says to copy the file to the root directory on the card is this in the DCIM folder or next to it?

Never mind the camera 'for much better pictures' you may have to update your own firmware!
