Updating SL Firmware from V1.2 to 2.1?

Hello All,

 

I haven't been brave enough to attempt updating my SL firmware but I've just realised that there is another release - 2.1. My camera is still on V1.2. Can I safely upgrade from this version using the V2.1 download? The instructions say the V2.1 is applicable if you have V2 installed.

 

I couldn't find a V2 download so it looks as it V2.1 is now the only version available. I'm just concerned that the V2.1 software will upgrade V1.2 without a hitch. Can anyone please advise?

 

Best Regards

Mike

Yes. You can just load 2.1 directly. You don't need 2.0 first.

 

Also 1.2 to 2.1 is a massive upgrade. You'll be very pleased you did it.

I have a similar question and would appreciate a little guidance please.

 

I bought an SL yesterday which I discovered was firmware version 2.0.

 

I've just downloaded firmware version 2.2 (successfully to my surprise!) and now realised that I've missed firmware version 2.1.

 

Following Gordon's advice I shouldn't need to go back and download firmware 2.1 because 2.2 somehow includes or incorporates it.

 

Is this correct?

 

Thanks in anticipation.

Correct!
