To install the update software on your camera :
1) Extract the file you downloaded.
Double-click the file you downloaded, and it will self-extract. YC-400_111.exe extracts to YC-400.bin.
2) Place the camera onto its USB cable and establish a USB connection with your computer.
3) Copy the extracted file (YC-400.bin) to the root directory (the top directory on the drive) in camera built-in memory or on a memory card.
4) Remove the camera from its USB cradle.
5) On your camera, hold down the [MENU] button as you press the [POWER] button to turn on the camera. Keep the [MENU] button depressed until the message "PROGRAM UPDATE" appears on the monitor screen.
6) On the "PROGRAM UPDATE" screen, move the highlighting from [NO] to [YES] by pressing. Next, press the [SET] button.
7) This starts installation of the update firmware, which is indicated by the message "NOW LOADING" on the camera monitor screen. The message "COMPLETE" appears when installation is complete.
8) After installation is complete, turn off the camera.
9) Check if the firmware version has been updated.
Note:
- If firmware update installation is interrupted due to low battery power, your camera will no longer be able to operate. Be sure to load a fresh set of new batteries into the camera before starting the firmware update installation procedure.
- After copying the YC-400 software to camera built-in memory or memory card, remove the camera from its USB cradle before installing the firmware onto the camera. This firmware update cannot be installed while the camera is on the USB cradle.

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.
