(it says i don't have permission).Īnd if i want to update the picture profiles with the utility (i have the latest version) the detail set button just won't appear. i just downloaded the 2.0.3 firmware version but it doesn't let me copy to the cf card.

Thefifthcrouch edited this topic ages ago. Persistent blundering pays off at least for me.
