Canon Bebit has today posted firmware updates for the PowerShot S230 (IXUS v³), PowerShot S45 and PowerShot G3. The firmware carries the version number 1.0.2, it fixes one common bug (occasional transmission errors to connected computers) as well as different things for each model. The PowerShot S230 (IXUS v³) gets a slow-sync flash underexposure fix, the S45 gets a fix to FlexiZone AF and the G3 gets a fix with compatibility to the 380EX SpeedLite flash.

IF YOU HAVE A CF CARD READER, PC CARD READER* OR NOTEBOOK TYPE PC* WITH A PC CARD SLOT
1. Insert the formatted CF card into one of the card reading devices.
2. Copy the "PSS45.FIR" file from the downloaded location to the CF card.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE ABOVE CARD READING DEVICES

1. Start the file transfer utility "UploadFirmware". Double-click the "UPLOADFIRMWARE.EXE" (Mac OS: "UploadFirmware") in the "PSS45_Firmware" folder.
2. Follow the instructions of the "UploadFirmware" utility so that the "PSS45.FIR" file can be copied onto the CF card in the PowerShot S45.
