To install the update software on your camera and controller
• Before updating the version, save images in camera memory to a computer or other device.
• Be sure to install both the camera and controller updates.
• After updating the camera and controller to version 2.0, you also need to update the EXILIM Link smartphone app to its latest version. Version 1.00 of the smartphone app is not supported by firmware version 2.0 or higher.
• Updating to version 2.00 returns all settings to their initial factory defaults.
• Updating to version 2.00 also changes the memory capacity and battery life from what it was under version 1.00.
• Version 2.00 increases the number of supported languages to 12, so do not install "Software to Change Languages Supported by the EX-FR10" after updating to version 2.00. If you do, the version will not be displayed correctly.
• Note that installation of the update software cannot be undone. Once you install the update software, there is no way to restore your camera to its original firmware version.
• If firmware update installation is interrupted due to low battery power, your camera will no longer be able to operate. Make sure the camera's battery is fully charged before starting the firmware update installation procedure.
• When using battery power for installation, a safety feature makes it impossible to perform installation when battery power is low. Make sure the camera's battery is fully charged when using battery power for installation.
• After copying the camm1371.BIN and camd1371.BIN software to memory card, disconnect the USB cable from the camera before installing the firmware onto the camera. This firmware update cannot be installed while the USB cable is plugged into the camera.
 
To install the update software on your controller
• Installation of this software requires a USB cable to connect the camera controller to a computer.

Important!
* Before installing the firmware update, be sure you back up the data in camera memory to a memory card or your computer's hard disk.
* Installing the update software can cause changes in the camera's image memory size, camera startup time, recording time, recording interval, user settings, etc.
* If firmware update installation is interrupted due to low battery power, your camera will no longer be able to operate. Be sure to fully charge the camera's battery before starting the firmware update installation procedure.
* If you are unable to restart your camera after installing the update software, contact your local Authorized CASIO Service. Tell them you need assistance because your camera will not restart after installing EX-FR10 firmware.
* Note that installation of the update software cannot be undone. Once you install the update software, there is no way to restore your camera to its original firmware version.
