I see theres a new firmware for the nx100 - 1.12. I'm having the dickens of a job downloading it. My camera shows firmware 1.0 but when I try to download the latest version I cannot. I get to the part on the menu where it states "firmware" okay that and then i get a choice of body or lens upgrade, BUT I cannot cycle between them, if I click okay I just go back to the previous page. Any ideas?

I did download it yesterday and move it to SD card root , after all installed fine from that menu what you did mention. Did you do same ?
Firmware was already on your sd card root folder ?

If you take off SD card from your camera and put into your computer on windows it will be mount as a drive marked with an alphabet f:\
for example this is root folder, not f:\dcim where you can find pictures.

Okay, I understand that part of it, but what I cannot understand is why my camera will not allow me to upgrade firmware. Following the manual and Samsungs web site, I click on the cameras menu, scroll through until I find FIRMWARE UPDATE, click okay on that and up pops a new menu with a choice of CAMERA FIRMWARE or LENS FIRMWARE, I cannot for the life of me highlight either one of these using the 4 way controller or any other controls either. Instructions tell me to click okay and highlight one or the other but I cannot. If I click the okay button I just go back a menu page. Its driving me nuts

If you are several fw releases behind the current one, you have to upgrade incrementally. At least that's how it works on the NX10. The strange thing is that Samsung does not offer old fw releases, making it impossible to upgrade for people with an old body.

If you need old fw versions to get you to the current one, post a message on the DPR Samsung forum, there are people who have archived all fw versions (btw, we should do the same here).

Ah-ha, a very cunning plan by Samsung!!!! At long last I have upgraded firmware..............Samsungs cunning plan was that the product had to be registered with them first.............
So all okay now.......although I cannot actually find out what the upgrade was for!!! LOL
