Downloaded mine. Strange thing is (as im new to this updatig firmware thingy) the procedure-pdf that thy give mentioned that the firmware .FIR file size must be the same when we right click/properties.
What i see is 16.6MB & the .FIR thumbnail shows 17,053kb.
Not a problem right?

17,053kb divide by 1024 = 16.6533203125 ~= 16.6mb

Nope, not a problem... its just the way that DOS errr.... Windows, reports file sizes.

The only time that you need to do that is when you turn on the camera for first time after buying it.
I wonder if the shutter count goes back to zero??? :bsmilie:
Ahhh~ so many numbers!
Thanks SkyStrike!
No problem
Simple mb conversion...Additional notes: Some version of windows use 1024, some use 1025 for division...So you may get very slight difference in size after conversion... In computing, it's 1024.
