Update:
I found that the name of the .bin file had been altered by my computer (had an extra digit appended); I changed it to the correct name, and it has updated fine.
The moderator may care to delete this post; I could not see how to do that. KL
I found that following Panasonic's directions (see below) just does not produce the desired results:
First, the download itself, from this site:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/dl/g1.html
but it's not clear from Panny's own site what the v. number for the Sept. 17 update is. Currently, my body firmware is ver. 1.3; I thought that the latest firmware is 1.4, following this notice:
http://www.dcviews.com/press/panasonic-g1-4.htm
Back to the the directions:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index.html
I extracted the file and loaded it to a freshly formatted SD card; and put that into the camera (itself loaded with a just-charged battery), turned it on and pressed Play (following p. 2 of the instructions, and no <fig.> 3 (the Update screen) appears.
Anyone able to shed any light on this?
Cheers, kl
