[Firmware Update] EX-Z850 - Version 1.20,1.3B

Two Firmware Version Updates for the EX-Z850

Aug.2007
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.

Differences between the Two Versions
