  Updating Procedure

  1. Provide a formated SD/SDHC memory card for the update software (with at 
     least 32MB of available memory space).
     The downloaded file is self-extracting. 
     The following files are extracted.

            readme.txt   :  this document
            fwdc204b.bin :  Firmware

     Copy the above Firmware file [fwdc204b.bin] to the root directory in 
     the SD/SDHC card.
     If your computer does not have a card slot, you can copy the firmware
     update file by inserting the SD/SDHC card into your camera and then 
     connecting the camera directly to your computer.

  2. Insert the D-LI90 battery into the camera and confirm the battery is full
     by battery level indicator then turn the camera off.

  3. Insert the update SD/SDHC card (prepared in step 1) into the camera 
     and close card cover.

  4. Turn the camera power on while pressing the MENU button.

  5. "NOW LOADING" appears in the LCD monitor, and will change to the 
     "PROGRAM UPDATE". At the bottom of the LCD monitor,

            UPDATE  VERSION 1.12

     will be displayed.

  6. Press the four-way controller to select "YES" and press the "OK" button.

  7. "UPDATING" appears on the LCD monitor and updating starts.
     Please do not under any circumstances switch off the power before the
     update is completed.
     It will take approximately 90~150 seconds to complete update.

  8. When update is completed, the "COMPLETE" will be displayed at the left
     bottom of the LCD monitor, then turn the camera off.

  9. Remove the update SD/SDHC card from the camera.

 10. To check the Firmware version in your camera, turn the camera on while
     pressing the MENU button.
     Check that the version displayed in the LCD monitor is "Ver.1.12"
     The camera automatically starts up after about 5 seconds.

  (Caution)
    When updating is finished, the update SD/SDHC card still contains the 
    Firmware file.
    If you want to use this card to take pictures, delete the Firmware file
    first.
