How do I install firmware in my camera using an SD card?Digital Still Camera Firmware Update Guide.

Why am I unable to view the photos on my camera after I have deleted some files from the SD card using the computer?It is not recommended that you delete or modify any photos on your SD memory card using your PC if you plan to move them back to the camera. Doing so can damage the file allocation table and your camera will not be able to read the files. You should immediately copy the remaining photos from your SD card to your PC. After doing so, using your camera, reformat the SD card.
