1-3. Upgrading procedure using the PC link cable
The restoration method at the time of firmware upgrade failure
(1) Set CD-ROM for Service Disc into CD-ROM drive of a personal computer and boot FLASH LOADER
“Fload.exe” then select a file to be transferred.
The transmission files are “786romXXXX.bin” and “786gmenuXXXX.bin”.
Perform file selection and rewriting one by one.
If a transmission file is chosen, “loaded ***** bytes” is shown on the “Status” column of the display.
(2) Extract CF card from the camera unit.
(3) Connect the QV serial cable between the camera and the PC.
(4) Click “Progress” button on FLASH LOADER “Fload.exe” of the PC.
At this time, keep the camera’s power off.
(5) Insert an AC adaptor and turn the power on.
Since the software is damaged in most cases therefore power turns on as soon as AC adaptor is
connected. In such a case, operation checking LED turns on in green so it does not matter even the
power key is off.
In case power does not turn on (operation checking LED does not turn on in green) when AC adaptor
is connected, turn the power key to “PLAY”.
(6) The progress bar on FLASH LOADER “Fload.exe” starts to move.
The progress bar proceeds to “Transfer”, “Erase” then “Program”.
If a camera has not been turned on for a long time after clicking the “Progress” button, “read timeout” is
shown on “Status” column and writing is not be done.
In such a case, repeat the procedures from step 1.
(7) If writing is completed, “program complete” will be shown on “Status” column of the display.
(8) Disconnect AC adapter and shut off a power supply.
This method does not turn the power off by key operation.
Therefore, disconnect the AC adaptor to shut the camera off compulsorily.
(9) Continuously choose and rewrite the other transmission file.
Repeat the above steps 1 to 8 to rewrite.
(10) When both files are rewritten, disconnect QV serial cable from the camera and check the version
indication following the undermentioned procedure.
While pushing down “DISP” and “MENU” keys, turn the power key to “PLAY” and check the version
numbers of Program and GMENU.
(11) After checking the version numbers, take one test picture and make sure that shooting, playing back,
and deleting are done normally.
