RG3.0 Firmware Upgrade... from a new owner... is it safe? :D

[Glen David Miller]

My Epic is about a month old now and I've held off upgrading the firmware to the new RG3.0 release having read a number of users with issues (bad audio and general camera problems), and so I ask, is it safe?

It's my first time to do such a thing and I'm always curious how many errors were user based vs. real bugs in the system. As a car dealer says, you always hear from the few folks with a problem but never the hundreds who were happy. So, in that vein, are most people happy with the new release?

And if there is a problem, what's the process with rolling back to the factory default?

Thanks for guiding a long time shooter, new red owner!

I've been running it for a week or so without issue. It's very easy to roll back to 2.0.5 which is the last official release.

Just make sure you have the camera plugged into the power outlet. Other than that, give 3.0.0 a try and if you shouldn't like it for some reason, you can always go back, as Paul has said.

Redgamma 3 and Redcolor 3 are good enough reasons to upgrade

Okay. Thank you for the boost. I'll give it a shot.

I now have to investigate the roll back process... just in case.

Glen,

Upgrade with confidence. I too was leery about the upgrade because of stuff I read. I thought I'd give it a try and went for it. Just shot a music video over the weekend in a pretty grueling environment and the camera performed flawlessly.
