Keep your firmware upgraded to digital cameras or mobile phones
Devices like digital cameras, mobile phones, etc. have software called firmware like computers. Its job is to direct different parts of the device to the hardware level. Using the camera as an example, it gives instructions on how to fix the color, how to do the zpeg conversion, how to do the noise reduction.
Naturally, it is not expected that everything will be perfect at once. Therefore, if any error is detected or any improvement is made, it is given as updated software. The user can install it himself.
The Nikon D-3100 camera is mentioned here as an example. The same method can be used for other cameras or mobile phones or other devices.
Learn about the current firmware version
- Press the menu button.
- Using the multi selector button, go to the Firmware version text and press OK. The name (number) of the current version will be known.
-Write down the value of the version.
How to update firmware software?
- Download the latest firmware for specific models by visiting the manufacturer's site (for example Nikon, in your case Canon or Nokia).
- You can get it in a zipped position. Unzip it. Format the camera card, then copy the file there. Be sure to copy to the root, the files in the folder can not be used.
-Make sure the camera is fully charged. Insert the card and turn on the camera.
- Go to the firmware menu by pressing the menu button. Select Yes in the update screen and press OK.
- A warning message can be seen. Updates may take a few minutes (2 to 5 minutes). Do nothing on camera this time.
- The message will be gone when the work is done. Turn off the camera and open the card.
- Turn on the camera again. The camera is supposed to work on the new firmware. Check the firmware version in the previous method.
The new firmware is available from the manufacturer's website. Keep an eye on their site updates regularly.
