PowerShot SX130 IS
Firmware Update Procedure
The various functions of the Digital Camera are carried out by "firmware," software that controls the camerar's operation.
The following procedure describes how to download to your computer the data used to update your camera's firmware.
To perform this procedure, a commercially available SD/SDHC memory card with a capacity of at least 8 MB is required.
Important: Precautionary Notes for Updating Firmware
When updating firmware, operate the camera with four brand-new alkaline AA batteries, or fully charged NiMH batteries NB4-300
(sold separately).
Initialize the memory card that is to be used for the firmware update with the camera beforehand.
Please note that when you initialize the memory card, data that is written to the card will disappear.
Make sure not to disconnect the power of the camera when updating the firmware. In addition, do not open the battery cover or
carry out any button operations.
Once the firmware is updated, you cannot restore the firmware back to its previous version by updating it again.
Read the precautionary notes above carefully before updating the firmware.
