I've ended up with these files on the SD card in my computer's card slot:

FWDC209B.bin
k5_e113w
READ ME

Is this o.k. so far?

What's next, please?

(I am v. nervous about this!! Don't want to wreck my new camera!!!!)

Thanks,

Roger.

Format Your card in camera first.

After formatting the SD/SDHC card, copy the fwdc209b.bin file to the route directory (just copy and paste to sd card) of the SD/SDHC card.

Update Firmware

Please read the readme.txt file attached to the firmware update before updating the firmware.

Thanks, Col.

I had formatted this card in the K5 before putting these files on it.

Is it now o.k. to put it in the camera & proceed, or should I delete one/any of the files to leave the bin file only?
