NOTE: Upgrading from 1.00f to 1.10a was performed on a Linux box (Ubuntu 10.10 ) as I have no Windows machine at the moment.
If you decide to try this, you do so entirely at your own risk. The procedure is as folows.
Obtain the firmware from Canon via their support pages, the exact version will depend on what is available and possibly which country you are in. For the main site in Japan you could try here...
