HELLO! I SOLVED IT. I went to the kodak live help.

Okay
the only problem is you cannot have any folders or files on your memory card. delete all file folders and place .bin in the memory card, no folders.

Then follow the steps it should work fine

The root directory is not in the DCIM folder, but rather, not in any folder at all. You just drag the firmware update in the window of the SD card on your computer.

Seems a little silly to ask. . .The root directory is the DCIM folder yes? (whew. . .sighs) When I put the upgrade in the dcim folder and popped the sd card in, holding down delete/stop, capture and the power button, I got the menu, selected fw version (heres where I ran into trouble, there was no okay next to fw version so the installation of the new firmware doesn’t happen. Help?

does anyone know if this new firmware has fixed the dropped frames problem that was happening before?

Hmm, I can’t remember exactly, but I thought just placing the new FW on the root of the card with the DCIM folder, then starting up with the menu was enough to flash it. I can’t do it again since I’ve flashed, but maybe I can bring up the menu and confirm. Let me know if you’re still stuck and I’ll grab my cam.

Hey I saw this after searching how to import to imovie. I updated the firmware but I don’t have those new features. When you plug in the zi6 to your mac do you get 2 mountd drives? One is called arcsoft sw which is locked. The other called ‘No Name’ which is where all my movies are created (in the DCIM folder). To upgrade the firmware what to you do. I might be doing something wrong.

Can you help?

The manual (perhaps only the online one) documented how to turn off the sounds, but the original firmware didn’t match the manual. I raised a ticket with Kodak when I first got my Zi6 and they were a bit embarrassed when they noticed the issue. Seems they hadn’t noticed.

I’m just hoping that they’ll come out with one that helps reduce the shaking, because other than that it’s a pretty good piece of kit.
