Sealife DC310 Camera Firmware

Installation steps:

1. Insert SD card into camera, turn camera power ON and connect camera to computer USB. Do not use battery power during firmware uploading – only use the DC250/DC300/DC310 3.3volt AC power adapter (item #SL932).
2. Download the firmware file.
3. Locate firmware file named ‘3000APP.bin’. Copy the ‘3000APP.bin’ file and paste into ‘Removable Disk”. Make sure to past the file into the root directory folder titled “Rremovable Disk” and not one of the folders under the root directory. The SD card now has the new firmware on it.
4. Disconnect camera from computer and turn camera OFF.
5. With SD card inserted in camera, set mode dial to ‘Record’ mode, open lens cover and turn camera ON. The camera-ready light will flash and you will here some beeps. The LCD monitor will NOT display messages during the firmware uploading process. When the camera ready light turns off and there is one final beep sound, which indicates that the uploading process is complete. The new firmware is now uploaded on the camera.
6. Disconnect power and remove SD card from camera. To update firmware for more than one camera, insert the SD card into other camera(s) and repeat step 4.
7. With SD card removed from camera, turn camera power ON. Insert SD card into camera while camera power is ON.
8. Select “format media” and reformat CF. This will delete the “3000APP.bin” file from the SD card. It will also delete any other items stored on the SD memory card.

Important notice:

- Some SD cards brands will not work for this procedure. If the camera does not behave as described in step 4, repeat all steps using a different brand/type of SD card.
- If you have a SD card reader/writer follow the above instructions # 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
- Do not use the DC200 or DC100 AC power adapter or it will damage the camera.

About Digital Camera Firmware:

Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your camera can improve the device’s overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones.

On the other hand, downgrading the camera’s firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty or the device’s performance dropped after an upgrade. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible.

It is recommended that changing the camera’s firmware be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has been encountering, or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful for you.

This process isn’t intended to be destructive, but still, it’s best to save all your personal data and configurations before applying a different firmware. Moreover, make sure that the battery is fully charged and don’t use the camera’s buttons while the installation is in progress.

When it comes to the update method, usually, you must copy the firmware file onto a compatible memory card, insert it into the camera, and browse from the menu to the device’s update section.

However, each device has various ways to enter the update mode and particular steps that should be taken for a successful upgrade, therefore make sure you read the product’s installation guide.

That being said, if you consider that this firmware improves your device in any way, then hit the download button and get the desired version; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will boost your camera’s performance.
