1. Program version upgrading The program and the graphic menu are stored in the camera unit. Confirm the version number of them, and if old version data are used, change them to the latest version. For making an upgrade, two methods are available: with a CF card or with a PC link cable. Notes: (1) Make sure to use an AC adaptor.
2. In case the internal program version of the camera unit is 99.08.26 or later. (1) Copy a program of the latest version (_ROM.BIN) and a graphic menu (_GMENU.BIN) to the CompactFlash card. Install the CompactFlash card into the camera. (2) Connect an AC adaptor to the camera.

(8) Data transmission shall start. (9) As soon as “program complete” message is displayed on the status box, the transmission is completed correctly. (10) Plug out the AC adaptor plug from the camera. (Note that the power cannot be turned off using the power switch.) (11) Exchange the card with a CompactFlash card for photography.
2. TEST mode CAUTION: PROCEED ONLY THE SPECIFIED ITEMS. (If items other than as specified here are executed, the inner data may be destroyed causing the camera to be unusable). 2-1 How to activate the TEST mode Activation of the TEST mode Turn on the power while pressing DISP and MENU keys simultaneously.

3-2 Flash adjustment (when Lens unit is replaced) 1. Outline Flash adjustment data are recorded in the Lens unit. When you exchange a Lens unit, Please be sure to carry out. 2. Caution If the program version is as follows, perform the adjustment after you upgrade the program. (Otherwise data transmission is disabled.) For upgrading or confirming the program version, refer to the sections in [1] Program version upgrading.
