Freezing menus R5M2--trying to do eye calibration and then uploading firmware

NancyEv

Hi-- I have a R5M2.  Today, I tried to do the eye calibration.  In one of the first menus (when I typed in my name), the screen froze (I couldn't cancel or say OK--sorry, I don't recall the exact menu.  I could only clear the menu by turning off the camera and removing the battery.  Same thing happened when I tried calibration again.  So I figured I'd update the firmware and see if that fixed the problem.  I put in a new battery.  I am at the firmware update program screen (updating 1.0.3 to 1.1.1) and for the last 15 minutes, I have a frozen screen saying Firmware Update Program.  // Update Firmware? // 1.0.3 >> 1.1.1 //  R5211100.FIR.  The 2 buttons under the last line are nonfunctional (cancel which is highlighted, and ok which is greyed out).  Thoughts?

Try turning the large dial beside the LCD clockwise a tick and see if "OK" is highlighted. Then press the "Set" button.

Super--it worked for the firmware update!  Never thought that the touch screen sometimes isn't!  Thanks so much for your quick reply!  I didn't get the error again with calibration, so perhaps the firmware upgrade solved it.  Thanks again!
