Firmware info
- The trick with the ver.req file works well on the A540.
Pressing SET and DISP button shows the following screen:
Canon PowerShot A540 P-ID:311B PAL Firmware Ver GM1.00B No error Jan 31 2006 11:02:45
Pressing SET and DISP button again results in:
Canon PowerShot A540 P-ID:311B PAL Adj Ver.002.002
- The vers.req file works, too.
- Pressing SET and DISP button a third time results in:
Canon PowerShot A540 P-ID:311B PAL Adj Ver.002.002 Total Shoot :xxxx Open Shutter :0 Close Shutter:0
The number P-ID:331B is a hexadecimal code for the platform version id. Note that the platform ID is almost the same as the S3 IS model: 311B vs 311A. Platform codes for other models can be looked up under P-ID.
