Hmm, this is strange. My firmware updated to 1.12e from 1.10e and everything was kept as before. No options lost or changed.

I believe I read that going from 1.1x to 1.12 doesn't reset the settings, but 1.00 to 1.12 does. I know I had to set up my A2 (v1.00u) all over again when I upgraded to 1.12, but I was expecting it and wrote down everything I could find before doing the upgrade ...

Bob, all you need to do is to place an old image on the card in the DCIM\image folder ("image" is the folder name I'm forgetting right now). Turn the camera on and take a picture, and it should reset to one higher.

I just found out that installing the new firmware resets many of the imporant settings to the defaults. I should have assumed this, but I went about 10 minutes into a session wondering why the automatic review wasn't working. Likewise, I was shooting in "Fine" (JPEG) rather than Raw.

Be careful!

I used the file from the US site 1.12; not 1.12e (Europe). Maybe they are different? The do have different version designations.

Yes, exactly. I started out with 1.0.

I didn't write my settings down.

The one that upset me the most was that it reset my continuous fille numbering to 0001.

Well, OK.

But, heretofore, my usual mindless process was to put a "used" CF card in and immediately reformat it.

I never add pictures since they are already transfered and backed up. Plus, I use mutiple cards at times to cover a day's activity. That's why I rely on the automatic camera-based sequential numbering.
