Yes, it would be nice to know more specifically.

Uploaded v1.1 and worked fine.....

Just updated mine and it worked fine. However, I got stumped in the instructions for a minute at this step:

5. Choose "FORMAT" from the Menu Screen, and Then Press the "SET" Button on the Left for More Than 2 Seconds.

I think that would be more accurately written as follows:

5. Choose "FORMAT" from the Menu Screen, and Then push the "SET" Button to the Left for More Than 2 Seconds.

That format screen stumped me too for a while!

Thanks

I think it should be written on the box the camera came in and on the cover ofyour manual.

One think I noticed folks that is fixed:

Before I updated (hd1000 in phoenix AZ using the Japanese update)
the camera would not output anamorphic to the S video and composit when set to 16x9 so I could only get plain letterbox instead of stretched through my normal Svideo input to my DVD recorder. I had hoped this would be fixed and sure enough I can record anamorphic to standard dvd making it look very impressive for oldschool dvds when viewed on a 16x9 set (i am still using an old vega non hi def till Santa brings me a Samsung hdtv:?)
