Re: WB850F New Firmware 06/06/12

When I put the firmware update files in the root directory of the SD card and power up I don't see the update message. Instead, after a few seconds, I get two beeps and then two messages appear. The first message, in yellow text, is in the top left quadrant of the camera display and it says "Script command ng" . The second message is in blue text and is in the lower left corner of the display and it says "[NG] Production Mode Fail".

The camera appears to work OK except for these persistent messages on the display. If I delete all the firmware update files from the SD card, the messages disappear from the camera display and the camera continues to function on the old firmware, v 20406d (I checked the version with Intelli-Studio). I have tried two different SD cards and downloaded the firmware update (v 20526) from two different Samsung sites with the same result. The files that I unzip (without error) are: FWUP, partialImage.o.map, WB850-FW-SR-205256.bin, wb850f_adj.txt. There is also a folder GPS_FW which contains the files: BASEBAND_FW_Flash.mbin, BASEBAND_FW_Ram.mbin, Config.BIN, flashBurner.mbin.

Any attempt to update using Intelli-Studio fails with an error message about being unable to unzip some files.

Any thoughts or ideas? I've only had the camera 2 days so I can still take it back to where I purchased it. But i would like to be sure I am doing the manual update correctly.

Thanks
