I need to update my firmware to V350m on my Z6. I have downloaded it to the desktop on my Mac but cannot load it on to the Z6. Is there a way to connect the Z6 to the Mac and transfer the file? When I connect the Z6 it opens Photo and I am unsure what a card reader is or if I need one to accomplish this.

- Download F-Z6-V350M.dmg.
- Double-click the F-Z6-V350M.dmg icon to mount a disk image containing a folder named “Z6Update”, which in turn contains the following file:
• Z_6_0350.bin (the camera firmware) - Using a card reader, copy “Z_6_0350.bin” to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera.
Note: Be sure to copy the firmware to the root (top-most) directory of the memory card. The camera will not recognize the new firmware if it is placed in a folder under the root directory. - Insert the memory card into the camera and turn the camera on.
- Select Firmware version in the SETUP MENU and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update.
- Once the update is complete, turn the camera off and remove the memory card.
- Confirm that the firmware has been updated to the new version.
