![]() If Lens Firmware is grayed out then the bin file is the wrong one and you need to remove the one on the card and replace with the correct bin file. I re-inserted my memory card into the Samsung NX300 and followed the instructions in the Body firmware guide from Step 8 and the Lens guide from Step 8 - select Menu, scroll down and select the Setting cog wheel, then scroll down and select Device Information, then Firmware Update and two options should show - Body Firmware and Lens Firmware. I could have renamed the bin files for each lens as the file name was the same for each lens but I didn't want to mess around with the files. I opened the 18-55mm-III iFn (v1.11) file under the Lens firmware file and copied the lens.bin file to my memory card (that's what you see above on the memory card). An example, the 18-55mm has 3 versions and I couldn't find what version my 18-55mm was.Īnother problem I faced was that when I transferred the entire Lens firmware file to the camera the lens update was greyed out so I had to update each of my lenses individually.įor the 18-55mm, after trying out versions 1 and 2 with the option being greyed out on camera, I tried version 3 and worked perfectly. Where the problem comes in is that some lenses have different versions and apparently some of the later versions don't have updates. But just copy and paste the bin file next to these files. See the photo below, my NX300 created two files so your view might be different. Don't put it in any of the files that your camera has created on the card. Open the NX300 file and you will see the nx300.bin file, copy this to your memory card. It only took a few minutes but don't take a chance. Make sure that before transferring to memory card that the card has been formatted in camera and that your camera's battery is fully charged. You should have two files: NX300_FW_v1.41 and LENS_firmware_140311. Once downloaded onto your computer, unzip both files. If you want to work via USB follow the instructions in the Update guide via the links above. You do have the option of working straight from your camera by attaching via USB as the option I used works by loading the firmware onto your memory card. In the South African Samsung Link the Lens firmware file contains all of the updates for the lenses, which is another reason why I chose that link. I selected the 30mm but the guide is the same for all lenses. But you can get the Lens update guide here: Lens update guide. Now the one thing that isn't here is the Lens update guide but it isn't much different to the body update guide. I used my country's link because I found the UK link a bit of a runaround but you can also go to Samsung.Īlso download the guide. The reason I wanted to post about the updates is because some people (I did too) have had some issues with updating the Lens firmware.įirst off, download the body and lens firmware (2 zip files) from here: Samsung NX300 firmware updates This is just a quick posting regarding the latest firmware update and lens updates to the Samsung NX300 and range of Samsung lenses.
