Help can't update my 50-150
1

i have just received my 50-150mm lens and I tried to update the lens only to find Samsung has removed all 50-150 firmwares from their different sites.

i tried downloading the from both matteverglade and herokuapp which only host the files from Samsung.com. I tried the bin file on 4 different SD cards but none have worked. My nx1 is on 100% battery and running on 1.4. Any advice ?

What happens when you try the update directly through the camera when connected to wifi?

Wifi only lets you update the cameras firmware but not the lens

When you go to the firmware update on the menu, make sure the 50-150 lens is on the camera. It will inform you about any update of the lens, just like any update of the body. I have updated both my 16-50 S and 50-150 S lenses by Wi-Fi while on my NX1 camera.

As VisionLight also stated, it will update your lens too. I have done it so I can confirm.

Hi,

could you solve this problem already or is it still open?

I got my 50-150 mm these days and had the same / similar problem on the NX1.

Update via PC always stopped at 80 % Download.

Same Problem via WiFi.

After copying the .BIN on the SD Card it worked in the end using the Camera Menu Option manually choosing lens update.

Hope you were /  are able to solve it!

Best wishes
