At the moment, Kodak doesn't have a firmware update available online. But when it does, it'll be here.

If you can do it via the dock, so much the better, but the USB cable will do also. You basically will double click on the firmware and follow the step by step.

One key thing is to make sure that you are attached to an AC Adapter when performing a firmware update. If you rely on batteries and they die, you may "brick" your camera. Not too good.

When the firmware is available, there will also be step by step instructions for you to d/l. But it's bascially that simple.

Well that's the trick. Shutter delay is a way of life in digital cameras. But the good news is that the delay is lessening as the technology matures. And what's interesting is, that DSLRs dont' have a lag issue at all. Or, it's nearly non existent.

But compact point and shoots, well, they know how to do it, but it makes the camera prices more cost prohibitive. And it's a difficult concept to market, and as such, few companies actually publish delay/lag times for their cameras. (but if you do a google search on digital camera shutter lag times, you can find a site that compares lag times with different models).

The NYT has an interesting article on shutter lag and how to combat it.

I can got the Z712 firmware, I follow the update method of Z712, but failed. I don't know how to update Z612, and I don't know if Z712 firmware can use on Z612 because I am afraid I can't get the Z612 firmware.

Thanks
