Anyone else has this issue? You move the same file with Windows onto the SD card, though, and no problem, the Lumix S cameras recognize the FW update.

You've probably already checked this out, but I've had this happen to me before when I've mistakenly downloaded the Windoze version instead of the Mac version.

Yes, I'm pretty sure. This is how the download page looks and it downloads the .zip file.

From that one extracts the .bin file which is what the camera requires. This .bin file dragged and dropped onto the SD card is not recognized by the camera, however.

From exactly the same download page you show above - file dragged from download folder onto desktop then into formatted sd card - no extraction!  Worked fine on MacBook Air.

Firmware update on camera procedure as normal and camera now shows updated firmware.

Another thing to check, did you drag it only once onto the SD card? In other words make sure there's only one  .bin file on the SD card, not multiple versions.

Download the .zip file, and it will give you this error. The extracted file is fine, just drag the .bin file to a freshly formatted SD card in Finder, and it will update without problem.
