Which site did you get your file from originally?

Thanks,

The Swedish one. Although it seems to be back now.

OK, I tried the update with the files that you sent and -hooray- they worked. I checked with Intelli-Studio and it says no update is necessary now, which must mean that I am at v 205256. I wonder why Samsung doesn't have a menu item to let you check your firmware version?

Anyway, thanks again ssshadow. I am liking this little camera very much. It was bought to replace my Panasonic DMC-ZS5, which I also liked very much, but it had poor low light performance and persistent white balance issues, specifically indoors, that I needed to correct. The WB850F with its fast lens (for a compact camera) and GPS tagging and WiFi and good low light performance looks like a real winner.

Cheers,

Ross

The question that remains is if this update has fixed the battery issues or not. The camera has been turned off for a while now, and tomorrow I will start it and see if it actually turns on with a nearly full charge, or if it has completely drained the same way it would before.
