Create a folder “Firmware” in the smart media which was formatted on C-700 Ultra Zoom, and save the binary
data “firmware.bin” into the folder “Firmware”.

2. Insert the F/W card for C-700 Ultra Zoom and turn the camera on at play mode.

3. TFT-LCD shows F/W version and inquiry of F/W rewriting.

Then select “YES” (Character is changed green) and after pressing “OK”, rewriting of F/W is started
automatically.

4. During the rewriting of F/W, SELF-RED is turned on and showed “EXCHANING” on TFT-LCD.

It will take about 2 minutes but please do not operate any key and turn off power.
