Performing the Upgrade
Note
Do not do any of the following while performing the
upgrade. Doing so could interrupt the upgrade process, and
cause malfunctions.

For details on using each camcorder, refer to the
Operating Instructions for the camcorder.
1
Insert the SxS memory card containing the update data

Select "Execute".
The message "Searching Package File" appears, and
the camcorder starts searching for the update data.
When the update data is found, the message "Version
VX.XX > VY.YY Upgrade" appears (X.XX: current
version number, Y.YY: latest version number).
If the update data is not found:
The message "Version Upgrade No File" appears.
The following are the possible causes.
• The update data is not saved to the root directory of
the SxS memory card.

Save the correct update data to an SxS memory card,
and restart the upgrade from step 1.
