Re: WB850F How to install new Firmware?

Not everyone uses windows and Samsung specifically say Intellistudio only works with windows. I know there are dire warnings about firmware update but how many people have actually bricked an item if they follow the instructions with a bit of common sense. I would worry more about a web update if the connection dropped. You have to trust that the complete download is done before the transfer to the camera and it is not done on the fly and the software is intelligent enough to recognise a download gliche. I feel much happier with a transfer off the SD card.

But surely, even if the chance of it not working and frying the camera is tiny, isn't better to do it the way that Samsung advises. Weren't people having problems updating TL500 firmware on the EX1 (or vice versa) and having problems?
