Firmware update
Please note
You should update firmware only to change camera functions or fix known issues.
Consider: Any firmware update may not only add new features to a camera or fix
known issues. It may also replace previous features or change camera
characteristics. See firmware release notes for details.

Keep the camera connected
• Keep the camera and computer running during firmware updates.
• If the camera is powered down during firmware update, the camera firmware
may get into a non-functional state.
Use only suitable firmware
If unsuitable firmware is used, the camera may get into a non-functional state.
• Only update to newer versions. Do not downgrade firmware to an older
version, unless this has been explicitly communicated.
• We recommend updating the firmware to the next increment version only.
