How do you know which P2 firmware version you have. Also how do you upgrade you firmware with a Mac?
P2 firmware?
- Thread starter SomewhereinLA
- Start date
The P2 Driver applet on the PC can display the firmware revision I believe, as does the firmware updater. AFAIK, there is no updater that runs on the Mac -- for now you'll have to find someone with a PC to do that. If you can't find anyone, I'll be glad to help you out.

Thank's for the offer... I think I'll tryone of the PC at work.
Please note that in order to use the Firmware Updater, you must also have the P2 Driver and Card Manager installed, and you'll obviously need to do this on a laptop or have a desktop with a PCMCIA/PCCard drive.

I didn't know there were firmware upgrades out already for the camera or cards. What's been changed?

There was a firmware update for the 4gb cards, and there were firmware updates for some of the other products when the 8gb card came out. I don't believe there's been a firmware update for the HVX yet.
The 4gb card firmware update is supposed to make the card more resilient when it's ejected while being written to, or when it's powered off while recording.

EDIT: so I just checked, and yes my cards were out of date. Downloaded the firmware update and all proceeded as expected.
Anyone with 4gb cards, you should check your firmware and update if necessary. Here's where you can download the firmware update:

I am really surprised the software only work with PC since a lot of VHX users are Mac users. I wish Panasonic would make it available for the Mac platform.
