Caution:
- Firmware Version 1.0.4.1 is for updating XF705 camcorders running Firmware Version 1.0.0.1 - 1.0.3.1 If your camcorder's firmware is already version 1.0.4.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware. Once the camcorder is updated to the latest version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.

It is recommended that, prior to starting update operations, users save their menu settings as settings data to an SD card, separate from the SD card that will be used to carry out the update. This saved data can be loaded into the camcorder and the settings can be changed after the update has been completed. For further information on this, please refer to the section in the unit's Instruction Manual titled "Saving and Loading Camcorder Settings."
