Importance of carrying out the operating system updates in professional equipment
When manufacturers launch new products on the market, the operating system is usually named version 1.0. They usually release software updates to add new functions or correct problems. Something that was only seen in the computer world is now common in most products. Recently a customer rented a camera and wanted to balance the brightness and colours with those of a different camera (same model). Because both cameras did not have the same software version, they couldn’t be perfectly balanced. Thus the importance of updating the camera’s operating system.
Can customers complete the updates themselves?
Some models require special equipment (jigs), others are done via network cards or memory sticks or even by swapping out a circuit board, etc. Thus, each model has its quirks. Furthermore, the update procedure must be perfectly understood and followed otherwise the gear might become non-functional; in the latter case, the only solution is to return it to the manufacturer. Finally, how can one know about the availability of new updates? The best way of knowing if your gear’s software is up to date is to call our authorized service center.
