Watch the birdie...
Afternoon all,
I decided I can't be doing with not having a spare/back up camera while my 30D is at Fixation, so I picked up a new 30D yesterday.
Although new, it still has the v.1.0.4 firmware: no problem I thought, the upgrade is easy enough to do.
Or not...
Try as I might, I can't get the camera to "see" the v.1.0.5 - I've tried several CF cards, re-downloaded the update, changed the name - all sorts of things - and every time I get a "CF card containing firmware is required to update" message (and yep, the firmware is in the root of the CF card).
Not the end of the world, but I'd like the latest firmware.
There's little of any help on the internet, but one suggestion is to download the update using a different computer.
I don't have another computer at home, and downloading from my work PC is disabled.
So...
Questions: anyone had this problem? How did you fettle it?
Favour: is anyone in a position to download the firmware (from the bottom of this page) and then email it to me at keith.reeder(@)gmail.com or (assuming it's too big to email - at 4+mb it might be) host it temporarily on some webspace so I can grab it from there?
TIA.
