Today I bought, of all things, the Samsung 50-200mm OIS, not the II or III, but the first one. I mostly use adapted lenses, but I wanted something with AF for tele, so this was for some reason in the local camera store. I tested it, and it does the job just fine for what I want.

It has firmware 1.10, and I see on Samsung's website that there is a firmware 1.20 available. I downloaded it, copied the lens.bin file to the root of the SD card, went into Device Information, it says that my camera is 1.40, and the lens 1.10, selected Software Update,but it doesn't show that there is an update to be done. I tried via Wi-Fi, but it says that everything is up to date, which it's not.

Does anyone have any clue on what's going wrong and what I can do to fix it? I use a 32GB SD card, it was formatted to exFAT, I formatted it in the camera and tried again, but even with FAT32, it's a no go.

How certain are you that it is the 1st version.

I suspect you have the Samsung 50-200mm F4-5.6 OIS II version which is a different firmware which is 1.10

Best way to check if it is a first version, if it has a ifn button on the lens then it is not a first version.

Hope this helps
