Samsung GX10 firmware

hi guys, how do you know which firmware you have in your camera? and does it matter if i down load it off the U.S site as i cant find it on the u.k one.

Hold the menu switch down whilst turning on the camera and the formware version will be displayed.

Try the Japanese to see if there is an English version there perhaps. Or double check with Samsung just to be sure.

how do i instal, it as i keep getting a zip file as a firmware i need a file dont i?

ive unzipped it now, i put the .bin file in the DCIM on the SD card i press menu and on and nothing happens, so something isnt going right for me atm

Don't put the file in the dcim folder put it in the root directory and it should work.

Updating Procedure

1. Provide a formated SD memory card for the update software (with at least
16MB of available memory space).
The downloaded file is self-extracting.
The following files are extracted.

readme.txt : this document
fwdc162b.bin : Firmware

Copy the above Firmware file [fwdc162b.bin] to the root directory in
the SD card.
If your computer does not have a card slot, you can copy the firmware
update file by inserting the SD card into your camera and then connecting
the camera directly to your computer.

2. If the camera power is on, turn it off.

3. Insert the update SD card (prepared in step 1) into the camera and close
card cover.

4. Turn the camera power on while pressing the MENU button.

5. "NOW LOADING" appears in the LCD monitor, and will change to the
"PROGRAM UPDATE". At the bottom of the LCD monitor,

CURRENT VERSION 1.00 / 1.10 / 1.11 / 1.20
UPDATE VERSION 1.30

will be displayed.

6. Press the four-way controller to select "YES" and press the "OK" button.

7. "UPDATING" appears on the LCD monitor and updating starts.
Please do not under any circumstances switch off the power before the
update is completed.
It will take approximately 90 seconds to complete update.

8. When update is completed, the "COMPLETE" will be displayed at the left
bottom of the LCD monitor, then turn the camera off.

9. Remove the update SD card from the camera.

10. To check the Firmware version in your camera, turn the camera on while
pressing the MENU button.
Check that the version displayed in the LCD monitor is "VER:1.30"
The camera automatically starts up after about 5 seconds.

If you want to use this card to take pictures, delete the Firmware file
first.
