Re: Firmware 1.3
As I've done in the case of past firmware installations, I placed a formatted card in a card reader and downloaded the 1.30 firmware. I then removed the card from the reader and placed it in the turned off K10D. I pressed the menu button and turned on the camera hoping to see a downloading 1.30 message. Instead, all I see (2 attempts) is 1.11. I note that two icons (README and FWDC162B) appear on the Desktop. Should they be accessed in some manner to complete the download? Jack --- P. J.

Re: Firmware 1.3
Sounds like you're missing a step there. Did you actually drag and drop the file FWDC162B to the card in the reader. If it's on your desktop it won't be doing you any good.

I close that window, go to My Computer, and click/drag the file FWDC162B to the J drive icon. A window will show the transfer process and close.
