deekay Posted August 19 Share #1 Posted August 19 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tried updating to 3.1.1. with the Fotos app but that didn't work. Then tried copying the file (to the top directory) of the SD card and then the CF card. Also re-downloaded the file again. I keep getting a "can't locate the file on the card" message when I go into Firmware Update. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 19 Posted August 19 Hi deekay, Take a look here SL3 - unable to update firmware. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted August 19 Share #2 Posted August 19 Format the SD card in SDFormatter. Then paste the file onto it without attempting to open it and follow the update procedure. Are you sure that the camera is not on 3.1.1 already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 19 Share #5 Posted August 19 Yes. Either download directly to rhe card or remove all previous downloads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deekay Posted August 19 Author Share #6 Posted August 19 Used SD Formatter then re-downloaded the firmware but the camera still doesn't see the firmware file on the SD card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 19 Share #7 Posted August 19 Advertisement (gone after registration) What is the name of the file that you have on the SD card? It should be : SL3_311.lfu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deekay Posted August 19 Author Share #9 Posted August 19 Just tried again with SD card - no luck. Then tried again with FOTOS and it seems to have worked. But I'm left a little confused and hope that everything is in order... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Levin Posted August 19 Share #10 Posted August 19 I thought that it was recommended to format card(s) in camera. Try and format CF card in camera and only put that card in camera, not both and then try to update. Unless it's a typo, it looks like you have one extra under-score on the firmware name. Fully charged battery too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
