NX 210: Is firmware upgrade required?

Hello,

I recently purchased the NX210 with firmware version 1.00. On the Samsung site they currently have a version 1.14 firmware upgrade.

Is it necessary for me to upgrade to this version? I have read on this site some people having problems with this upgrade - so I was wondering if it was required or can I continue to use it without upgrading.

Thanks in advance

JRS

do not neglect to do it, it's like night and day

problems are with lens updates because its difficult to tell which version of the lens you have, but body updates are great and absolutely requiored

Sorry my mistake the version is 1.12 (not 1.14 as in my opening post).

Also, tried to upgrade the lens firmware but no luck. The update fimware only asks if I wanted to upgrade the body only.

that indicates that the lens is a later version and has the proper firmware

Thanks Mike, strage how it gives me the option of upgrading the body firmware - even though I upgraded it.

I wasn't sure if I should be copying the lens name subdirectory or not? I guess I'll just leave it alone for now and shoot some pictures.

Thanks for all your help
