Important Information Before Downloading
Save Your Settings
After updating to this version, all camera settings will be reset to default values. The update includes new functions and significant specification changes, so it is recommended to document all current camera settings before proceeding. Settings saved using various features (such as Save/Load Settings and Save/Load FTP Settings) before Version 3.01 will not be retrievable after the update.
