| Problem | Likely Fix | |---------|-------------| | Camera doesn’t start update | Ensure file is .bin , in root directory, card formatted FAT32, and camera is powered (not just battery). | | Update freezes | Do not unplug — wait 5 mins. If still frozen, power off, reformat card, reload firmware, and retry. | | Camera won’t turn on after update | Remove power & battery (if removable), wait 1 min, then reconnect power. | | File not found error | Rename file exactly as required (check Apeman’s readme file if provided). |
