Setting the camera to fallback mode
If a firmware recovery fails for any reason (for example, when disconnected during
a recovery), the camera firmware may get into a non-functional state. To ensure a
successful firmware recovery, follow the instructions below.
1. Before you continue with step 2, read the notice above.
2. Disconnect the camera.
3. Push a paper clip against the fallback switch (see
Figure 46
).
4. Keeping the paper clip pressed, connect the camera to USB.
Result: this sets the camera to
firmware fallback mode.

Notice
Use the fallback switch cautiously
Slightly press a paper clip into the hole with the fallback switch.
A needle or a thin wire could damage the switch.
Pressing anything against the LEDs can damage them.
Camera settings are preserved
At fallback, camera settings are preserved. You do not have to
reconfigure the camera after setting the camera to fallback mode.
