I keep getting a lock up on the display that says " CF card containing firmware is required" I believe I have followed the instructions correctly. but it just freezes and I have to pull the battery to get it to work agin. I never get the screen that displays the 2 versions of firmware. Any suggestions? Thanks Eric Which of these files did you copy to your compact flash:

The .fir file , and the size was 4.3 mb. I guess I'll try calling canon today, funny the camera is working well and hadn't locked up at all. Eric MacKay

Formatted it in the camera Put the card in my card reader and copied the .FIR file to the top level Put the card back in Removed the lens Set the mode switch to 'P'. Switch on Got to firmware on the menu etc etc I used a 2GB card and it worked just fine. Also, I left the DCIM folder in there. I did not touch the card's folders after reformatting it in the camera, I just copied the firmware file in the ROOT directory...... but all this is in the instructions.
