Title: How do I update firmware on M8?
Post by: hasselbladfan on February 10, 2012, 09:06:38 am

I found the firmware. Put it on a SD in zip form.

Nothing happens when I load the card in the camera.

Have no idea how to unzip it.

Thanks, Walter. I found these.

But the issues is point 3 (.. unzip the file).

I seem to have copied the zipped file and I don't know ho to unzip it before copying.

Have you tried this before?

On Windows just go to explorer, mark the file, press right mouse button, choose "Expand".

In Mac OS X: Just double click it, finder will create a folder and the extracted files will be found there.
