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 have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared whenever
power is totally cut off (from both the battery and USB cradle). 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).
Options
Mobile charger (with AC adaptor) BC-10L
Cradle (with AC adaptor) CA-22
Soft case ESC-30
ESC-31
Neck strap ENS-1
* Refer to the sales section for the details of the options.

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 can be found.
Check the LCD display.
(Example)
VER 1.00
(As of March 14. 2003)
2. How to update the firmware
1. Prepare the memory card which contains the software for upgrading EX-S3 firmware in the root directory .
firmware: EX-S3.bin
The firmware is included in the service CD-ROM.
The location is as follows: QV/Soft/Adj-soft/Exs3/FirmUP
2. Insert the above memory card in the camera and then 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
Note:
This does not appear when the battery is low.
Make sure to charge the battery fully.
4. Align the white cursor to “YES” by the cross key of 왖 and 왔, and press SET of the center of the cross
key.

(As of March. 2003)
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 restore the firmware
1. Prepare the following firmware restoration program and change its name as follows;
kx856r030228.hbn 앶앸 mercury.bin
The program is included in the service CD-ROM.
Location: QV/Soft/Adj-soft/Exs3/Recover
2. Copy the above file to the root directory in the memory card.
3. Insert the memory card into the camera.
4. Set a fully charged battery in the camera.
5. Turn the power on while pressing the shutter release button.
The LED next to the LCD monitor changes from orange blinks 앶앸 green blinks 앶앸 green lights.
6. When the green LED lights, the firmware restoration is finished.
