Now the problem is that you might get into the developer menu but be unable to see it. There's just a chance it might be visible in the evf. What you are supposed to do next is:

- Choose 1. FW UPDATE -> OK
- Choose (1) BODY FW UPDATE
- Choose OK
- At this step, the green light should start flashing and a blue bar should appear on screen.
- when the light stops flashing and the screen goes black, half press the shutter and you should be in the NX5 firmware.

Incidentally, I have an NX10 which I upgraded to NX11 firmware but later changed back to NX10. I purposely kept the firmware at 1.31 so that I would have access to the developer menu and still be able to read the shutter count. I checked a couple of weeks ago and the menu worked but today I tried again and can't get into it. Don't know what's happened there.

Ok, I got back into the service menu. (I had been pressing ok before holding down the +Av button). The good news is that the options you need to choose once getting into the service menu are the defaults, so for these steps, all you need to do is press OK twice:

- Choose 1. FW UPDATE -> OK
- Choose (1) BODY FW UPDATE - Choose OK
