TVSD Firmware Update

[basil_helman]

I wonder if anyone who has successfully upgraded the firmware on their TVSD would assist me by answering the following questions:

1)What was the name of the file containing the upgrade?
2)Where was the file placed on the SD card: root or subdirectory?
3)What were the necessary settings on the camera for it to recognise the upgrade file and load it?
4)Where in the camera’s menu system did notification of the upgrade appear?
5)What were the improvements you detected in the camera’s performance?

Many thanks,

Basil

I recently posted a series of questions concerning the firmware upgrade of the TVSD. Unfortunately, there were no responses.

With the help of Contax UK I have now answered four of my five questions. I have posted a pdf outlining the upgrade procedure, together with the necessary binary file, at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/contaxforum/files/ . The upgrade is to Version 1.05 of the firmware.

Hi Basil,

the link is not working. It would be helpful if you either post it as text here in your thread or upload the pdf file here with a click on "insert image".

But as pure text within a posting it would make more sense and is more comfortable, since others do not have to open a additional program.

There are two firmware downloads. They are both the same, except one is for Windows, the other for Mac. They both comprise the 1.0.5 firmware. Advantage seems to be speedier start up and file management times.

Here is the link:

The download buttoms are at the bottom of the page.

the instructions are in Japanese...so try babelfish to translate.
