Right click to eject your microSD card.
With your camera powered off, insert the microSD card into your camera and power it on.

Insert your microSD card into your camera and power it on.
Your camera will automatically start the update.
It will beep and turn itself off and on several times. A check mark on the front screen will let you know when it’s done.
If you get a CAMERA UPDATE FAILED message, remove and reinsert the battery and restart from the beginning.
