  • HVX-200MC, how to get a the firmware update downloaded?

    Posted by Jonas Schönstein on March 25, 2009 at 1:37 pm

    Hi,

    I got the HVX-200MC from a friend of mine. He gave me his cam without P2 cards, so I organized 4 16GB P2 cards (AJ-P2C016RMC).

    The software Version of the cam is 2.02-00-0.00. After half day of research I know that I have to update the software coz the HVX is not able to recognize the 16GB P2 cards.

    Now my problem is I can’t download the new firmware version.
    I already contacted Panasonic directly by mail but they just sent me that link:

    https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/cs/csregistp2m/ep2main/soft/upglist_e.htm

    I already been to that link before and when I try to download it just says: There are no documents or No links.

    I planed to start shooting already by today.. What can I do?

    Hope someone of you knows the answer.

    Thanx,

    Jonas

    Hey Jeremy,

    thanx for your reply.

    Unfortunately this link is also not working. When I try to download it says the same:

    “There are no documents or No Links”

    I have a nice HVX-200 with 4 16GB P2 cards here and can’t use it.. What can I do?

    Maybe Jan can alert the proper people @ Panasonic as this is obviously a mistake.

    Sorry!

    Hi,

    Just found this thread this morning, have put in the notice of the issue, I checked it from a couple of different angles.

    Sorry, but it should be fixed some time soon.

    Best,

    Jan

    Thanx!

    I contacted Panasonic and they sent me the new firmware for the HVX200.

    First Problem solved. I can shoot now with my 16GB P2 cards.

    2nd problem now: I don’t have a P2 card reader, so I connected the camera via FireWire to my Mac but the P2 card is not appearing on my desktop..

    I downloaded the P2 driver software but its still not working.

    Any ideas?

    Jonas

    Yes. Download and search the HVX200 manual and search for “1394 device”
