fasterem:If you had to hit the menu button to read update now, this may be alright. Mine came up with "Wait starting" then "UPGRADE SOFTWARE" with "NO" underneath. Press the "UP" button once. This is the little round button (top) one of the five toward the lower right of the camera. The display should now show "UPGRADE SOFTWARE" with "YES" underneath. Press the "OK" button once and the software upgrade will begin. The software upgrade takes about 2 minutes. The camera display will show: "WAIT 2 MINUTES TO UPGRADE". Upon upgrade completion, the camera will restart and show an "UPGRADE OK" message on screen. You may now place the camera switch in the "ON" position. In the camera setup menu, under PHOTO available for a 15 second and 30 second delay. To change from say 15 second to 30 second just hit "OK" (center button) of the five then use either the top "UP" button or the bottom "DOWN" button. After you made your selection, hit "OK". I just left my SD card in the camera until I checked this out. This may not be necessary?? The mode button has to be pressed after turning your camera on before any settings can be changed.
