MANUAL FIRMWARE UPDATE
You can always find the most recent firmware on this page under "Vaquita Firmware"
1) Make sure that your camera has at least 50% of charge - otherwise, connect it to charging
The SD card should also be cleared from any footage (there should be at least 250 MB of space left)
2) Download the newest firmware file from the link above (when you click the "download" text, the newest firmware file will save on your computer, e.g vaquita_21.30.11358.plf)
Please make sure that the file does not have a (1) or similar before the .plf (e.g. vaquita_21.30.11358(1).plf) - the camera will not recognize it.
3) Use an SD card reader to insert the SD card into your computer - copy and paste the firmware.plf file to it
4) Turn your camera on, and once booted, insert the SD card with firmware.plf on
5) The camera will now download the file and update the camera (the screen will show "Updating...camera will restart")
Do not move the selector ring or activation switch at this stage
6) The logo will disappear and the camera will restart on its own (the display will be black for approx 1 min).
Make sure not to turn it on yourself
