I have read and understood the disclaimer below
and wish to download the designated software
Firmware Version 2.0.2 incorporates the following fixes:
1. Corrects a phenomenon in which, in rare cases, the digital compass is not displayed and the location information is not updated when using the GP-E2 through the USB connection.
2. Corrects a phenomenon in which, in rare cases, the GPS log's time information will show the date of the next day.
Firmware Version 2.0.2 is for the GP-E2 with firmware up to Version 2.0.1. If the GP-E2's firmware is already Version 2.0.2, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
When updating the firmware of the camera, please review the instructions thoroughly before you download the firmware.
Please note:
Do not downgrade the firmware of the product to Version 2.0.1 or earlier after updating to Version 2.0.2.
To update the firmware of this product, GPS Log File Utility that is bundled with the product is required. Furthermore, before updating the firmware, use GPS Log File Utility to save the GPS log files in the built-in memory to your computer. After the GPS log files are saved to your computer, make sure to delete the log files from the built-in memory of the GPS receiver before updating the firmware.
Q&A:
Preparations for a firmware update:
1. After the downloaded compressed file (.zip) is extracted, a firmware folder is created.
*Extracting the downloaded file:
Right-click the zip file, and then select Extract All to extract the file.
2. The extracted folder contains the firmware (File Name: gpe20202.FIR, File Size: 524,780 bytes) and instructions on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese).
Before starting the firmware update operations, please confirm the contents of the download, and carefully read through the firmware update procedures. Make sure that you follow the instructions below to perform the firmware update:
3. Please use brand-new AA alkaline batteries for the firmware update. Do not use rechargeable AA batteries.
The reason for this is that if the power of the GP-E2 is disconnected during the firmware update, you will not be able to update the firmware and the GP-E2 may malfunction.
4. During the firmware update:
Do not turn off the power switch of the GP-E2 or open the battery compartment cover.
Do not unplug the interface cable that is connected to the computer.
