• Deleting files using a MICROSOFT WINDOWS2000 PC on a Fat32 formatted storage card sometimes causes
a hidden recycling bin to be created on the card containing the deleted images. If the camera detects a Full
card situation on a card that contains a hidden recycling bin folder, the firmware offers the option to "Empty
recycle bin?” Select OK to delete the hidden Recycling bin folder and free the space on the storage card.
Select “Cancel” to keep the hidden recycling bin and not free the hidden space on the card. Formatting the
card in the camera removes the hidden recycling bin from the storage card. However images from a deleted
recycling bin folder can still be recovered by the cameras’ “Recover Card” feature. To prevent the camera from
recovering images that are located in the hidden recycling bin folder, format the card first by using a PC or by
using the cameras’ “Full Format” feature.
1.4 Firmware Installation Instructions
When available, newer versions of camera firmware can be installed if they are first copied to the root directory of a
storage card. To install new firmware using a storage card, follow these steps:
1. Connect your camera to the AC adapter specified in your camera’s user guide, and insert a fully charged
battery into your camera.
Caution: A loss of power could corrupt the firmware. Do not connect the camera and your computer
during the firmware update process.
2. Insert a storage card into the card reader on your computer.
3. On your computer, copy the firmware file to the root directory of the storage card.
Important: Do not copy the file to a folder on the storage card. The DCS camera will not recognize the file
unless it is stored in the card’s root directory.
4. Insert the storage card into your DCS camera.
5. Navigate to the Main Menu on the camera’s LCD.
6. Select “Firmware” from the Main Menu.
7. When the Firmware menu appears, select “Update from Card”.
8. A confirmation screen appears, giving you two options. If you choose “Cancel”, the firmware will not be updated
and you will return to the Main Menu. If you choose “OK”, the firmware update will continue.
9. When the firmware has been updated, a screen appears informing you that the firmware has been updated.
10. Selecting OK will automatically restart the camera.
11. Once the camera has restarted, a confirmation message appears, indicating that the new firmware successfully
loaded.
12. Repeat steps 5-11 to complete the Firmware update process. A second confirmation message will NOT
appear.
