BIN file. This file contains firmware, the control programming used by
the camera back. You copy — download — this software
from your computer hard disk into the camera back when
you click the UPDATE CAMERA FIRMWARE button. Downloading
firmware is a one-time action. (You do not need to repeat-
edly copy the firmware each time you use the camera back.
Instead, you only download firmware the first time you use
the camera back, and then when you receive firmware
updates or if you are experiencing erratic problems with the
camera back.)
