WARNING EX1R Firmware Update…DONT DO IT YOURSELF

[Daniel Startek]

The upgrade USB port is covered on the back behind the shoulder pad. Download the upgrade and instructions here:

then follow the instructions carefully. I found that during the install, it’s easier to remove the shoulder pad completely, use the Windows installer and make sure there are no power interruptions. You will power off/on the camera and the red record light will come on during the install. I was hesitant at first but it worked.

Post upgrade, the cam recognized the write protect tab and I can now use more brands of SDHC.

Installed it yesterday. Works fine (so far).
