The values noted above are approximate values until power fails, based on continuous recording with flash off, at normal
temperature (25°C). The above does not guarantee that you will be able to achieve this level of operation. Low temperatures
shorten battery life. Voice recording times are based on continuous recording, while audio playback times are based on
continuous output (through headphones).
* Voice recording and audio playback times apply to the EX-M1 only.

Power Supply
• Use only the special NP-20 rechargeable lithium ion battery to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not
supported.
• This camera does not require a battery for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared whenever power
supplied by both the battery and USB cradle is interrupted. Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted.
LCD Panel
• The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that
less than 0.01% of the total pixels are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).

PROGRAM VERSION UPGRADING
■ Introduction
Update the program using an SD card.
Note:
Make sure to use a fully charged battery.
MAIN PCB becomes unusable if power down or an error occurs during program transmission.
1. How to confirm the program version
■ The program version can be confirmed in the test menu (refer to the previous page).
■ Turn the power on while pressing MENU button.
The following program version also can be found.
Check the LCD display.
(Example)
VER 1.00
(As of May 28. 2002)
2. How to update the firmware
1. Prepare the memory card which contains the software for upgrading firmware in the root directory.
EX-S1: ex-s1.bin
EX-M1: ex-m1.bin
2. Insert the above memory card into the camera, and set a fully charged battery in the camera.
3. While pressing MENU, press power switch.
Keep pressing MENU until “PROGRAM UPDATE” appears in the camera LCD.
The following appears.
The version for the firmware update software in the memory card appears at the bottom.
PROGRAM UPDATE
YES
NO
NEW VERSION IS
VER 1.00
4. Align the white cursor to “Yes” by the cross keys of and , and press SET.
“NOW LOADING” appears in the LCD and the update starts.
5. ”COMPLETE” appears after the update finishes.
6. Remove the memory card after turning the power off once.T urn the power back on again while pressing
MENU, and check the version.
VER 1.00
VER1.00 appears this time.

7. If the version is correct, turn the power off.
8. Finally, check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting an image.
3. How to recover the program in case of the failure
1. Prepare the following firmware restoration program and change its name to "mercury.bin".
EX-S1 : kx851r.hbn
EX-M1 : kx852r.hbn
• Insert the SD card into the computer using the PC card adaptor.
* Prepare the PC card adaptor for the SD card.
• The computer recognises the SD card as a "REMOVABLE DISK".
2. Copy "mercury.bin" to a root directory of an SD CARD.
3. Insert it into the camera.
4. Insert a fully charged battery into the camera.
5. Turn the power on while pressing shutter release button.
The operation LED changes in the following order; orange blinks, green blinks and green lights.
6. When green lights, the firmware restoration is finished.
Remove the battery.
7. Turn the power on again while pressing both MENU and SET buttons.
The firmware is successfully restored if the corresponding program version appears next to "PR:" of
the test menu.
8. Finally, start the camera normally to check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting an
image.
