Notes on Performing Update
• Use the AC adaptor supplied with the PMW-PZ1, and

• For USB memory, please use only a USB memory type
recommended for use with the PMW-PZ1. Operation is
not assured with other memory types.
• Use a USB memory with a capacity of at least 1 GB.
• If the USB memory contains any files not needed for
update, delete them or move them to some other storage
location.

card from the memory card slot.

data that is stored on an SxS memory card.

system.

YYYYYY_PKG.zip) containing the download data
from the update data download site and store it in any
desired location on the computer. (In the file name,
X_XX represents the version number, X.XX.)

• Release Notes (pdf)
• The update instructions (pdf)

“updater_X.XX.ZZZZ.dat” which contains the
update data.
• Do not store any files in the USB memory other
than the “PZ1_Updater” folder and its contents.
• Do not change the folder organization or name of
the “PZ1_Updater” folder.
