Thanks raw jaw. Before I read your message, I downloaded the firmware to my PC, placed it in the root directory of the SD card, and then ran the update from the card. It worked fine and my camera is now 1.22

I'll have to work out all the new communications functions on this camera soon, but at least the firmware is updated before I did all my settings.

Thanks again for getting back to me so soon.

That's nice to know that I don't have to hook up the NX1 to my Mac in order to update the firmware. My NX1 arrives tomorrow.

Brian,

I just want to repeat the advise from Jeff Style above. Don't go through a lot of time setting up your camera before updating to the new firmware. It's just going to reset almost all of them (except global settings like time, date and the like) to the defaults.

My camera came with v1.20 because it was manufactured February 2nd (per access to my Samsung account, not from anywhere in the menus). If yours is a newer date, it may already have a newer firmware.

Ed,

Thanks. I plan on charging one of the batteries, then update the firmware if needed. I have all day Thursday to customize the NX1.
