Caution:
- Firmware Version 1.0.4.1 is for updating XF705 camcorders running Firmware Version 1.0.0.1 - 1.0.3.1 If your camcorder's firmware is already version 1.0.4.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware. Once the camcorder is updated to the latest version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.
- Please do not import camcorder settings from camcorders with Firmware Version 1.0.4.1 to camcorders with firmware version 1.0.0.1 to 1.0.3.1.
Preparations for the Firmware Update:
- Please use a SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card that is 512MB or more for the firmware update.
- After the firmware update has been performed, the camcorder's menu settings will be reset. It is recommended that, prior to starting update operations, users save their menu settings as settings data to an SD card, separate from the SD card that will be used to carry out the update. This saved data can be loaded into the camcorder and the settings can be changed after the update has been completed. For further information on this, please refer to the section in the unit's Instruction Manual titled "Saving and Loading Camcorder Settings."
- The downloaded folder contains the firmware (file name: VOA4.FIM / file size: 58,408,736bytes), and instructions on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Simplified Chinese). Prior to starting the firmware update operations, please be sure to review and carefully confirm your understanding of these instructions.
The following things are required to perform this firmware update:
1. An XF705 camcorder.
2. A computer (OS requirements: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8).
