Re: WB850F New Firmware 06/06/12

Intellistudio only extracts the first part of the firmware update, and not the GPS related stuff (which acts like a completely separate update, executed after the first one). This is why it gives a generic "failed to unzip", and why the camera will show the script errors when everything is prepared by this program. I personally fixed it by not using Intellistudio, and manually copy the files from the .zip. An updated version of this program does not seem to be available.

Hi Brian,

I don't get any errors when I unzip the files. I have downloaded them from the US site, the Canadian site and the UK site and all produce the same result. The error messages suggest to me that the camera is complaining that one of the script files is no good. Not sure which one though.

I've been reading about some of these WB850F cameras having issues with the battery running down when the camera is turned off. Have you had any experience with that?

I don't own one, I just thought the FW might be corrupt if intelli-studio is complaining. Do you have the latest version of Intelli-studio?
