So, how on earth did they discover that a ‘low remaining life’ of this battery could cause problems? Time travel? Ah, that’s the answer – someone will have accidentally set the date to 2021, making the camera think its internal battery needed replacing because Sony will have put into the system a lockout which occurs at the end of the expected life for this component.Īll those of you with Epson professional printers over five years old, who have managed to download a service manual, will know how this works. Surprise at our end about the RX100 update, since the camera has only been on the market a short while, and the internal batteries used to maintain the date (etc) usually have a seven to ten year life! I have been considering running Linux in virtual box if linux can mount the camera so that I have write rights to it.From Sonyalpharumours (with the links all very neatly arranged, probably from Sony’s own sources) details of firmware updates for the RX10 and the RX100 MkIII. What other alternatives is there except buying an external card reader? It stayed complete nothing for a while and then I gave up. A dialog flashed past me saying it was unpackaging the files, then nothing. It came as a zipped dmg file with an app file on it (talk about over packaging.) Anyhow, I unzipped, mounted the dmg file and started the app. Okey fine I thought and downloaded the latest update version. Guess what? The program does not run under OS X 10.7. Grabbed my CD that came with the camera and installed the EOS utility on it.

I guess we have to wait for Canon to fix this right? Oh well, I googled a bit and seems I am not the only one with this problem. The "Camera settings / Remote shooting" alternative is greyed out. However, when I plug in my camera the EOS utility doesn't seem to recognize my camera. I have no separate card reader so I planned to do it from the EOS utility, so I downloaded the latest version of it. I am running Windows 8 on my main machine and thought I would upgrade to the new firmware for my Canon EOS 7D.
