The new releases improve devices’ overall stability

Aug 4, 2015 08:38 GMT  ·  By

Today, Panasonic has rolled out two new firmware packages targeted at some of its digital cameras, namely version 1.2 suitable for its DMC-TZ57, -TZ58, -ZS45 models, as well as build 2.2 developed for the DMC-FZ1000 unit, which should enhance overall system stability.

Specifically speaking, the 1.2 firmware improves the stability of iHDR burst mode and fixes the improper behavior of the indication in baby mode, while DMC-FZ1000’s 2.2 update resolves the event where the program would sometime return to wrong aperture value.

Therefore, if you have been encountering these problems or simply want your camera to be powered by the latest firmware available, then save the present update only if your device’s currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this one.

If all is OK, unzip the package you have downloaded, transfer the .DAT file onto a formatted memory card (.bin format for DMC-FZ1000), power off your imaging unit, and insert the SD card into the appropriate slot.

Now, while the 2.2 firmware is automatically recognized by the camera once turned on and guides you through the installation, if applying Panasonic’s 1.2 update, make sure to power on the DMC unit while holding “Playback” and “Zoom” buttons for the upgrade to be initiated.

Either way, bear in mind that, during the installation process, you mustn’t remove the battery/memory card or make use of any of the camera’s buttons. Doing so might interrupt the update and this can lead to various malfunctions.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your Panasonic product, apply its latest firmware, and enjoy the changes this new release brings about.
