What is "Firmware"?

Firmware is the operating system program inside the SeaLife® digital camera that controls everything about how the camera operates. SeaLife® develops firmware specifically for diving, so that the image exposure and picture processing works not only on land but specifically underwater in low light conditions.

The firmware also allows the camera to operate with our popular accessories, like the SeaLife® External Flash. Such a firmware development takes teams of programmers and divers several months for each new SeaLife® camera model.

Do I need to upgrade?

Just like computer programs are updated from time to time, SeaLife® improves the firmware for its digital camera models. Normally, you do not need to upgrade. Your camera should work very well, even with the very first firmware version.

If a new firmware becomes available, you may want to upgrade your firmware anyway, to benefit from SeaLife's ongoing research for better underwater photos.

How do I know what firmware version I have?

You can determine the firmware version by setting the camera to Playback mode. Under the Set-Up or Custom tab, select "System Info" to display the current firmware.

With the DC500, you can determine the firmware version by setting the camera to the Set-Up mode. Under the Custom tab, select the bottom right icon to display the current firmware.

How do I know if a new firmware is available?

Locate your SeaLife® digital camera from the list below and click on the link. You will see instructions on how to upgrade your camera's firmware and a list of the most recent firmware we make available. The higher the firmware version number for a specific camera model, the more recent the firmware is.
