We would like to announce two new firmware updates for the EX-Z850 available on the net. One update provides SDHC memory card support and the other responds to requests from your uses for improved HQ Mode movie quality.
Note that the update version (Version 1.3B) that improves HQ Mode movie quality makes the field of view angle of the HQ Mode narrower than the previous firmware version. Because of this, we are also providing a separate version that enables SDHS memory care support only for those who do not want a limited field of view angle. After reading the explanations below, download and install the version update that suits your needs.
Provides support for SDHC memory cards with capacities of 8 GB or greater.
•
Fixes a problem with V1.1B snapshot processing.

Important!

The name of the file created when Version 1.20 is extracted is the same as the file created when Version 1.3B is extracted (EX-Z850.BIN). Do not extract both versions inside the same folder.
