[EDUCATION] Update Firmware via a USB Flash Drive
Instructions on how to update the firmware with a USB flash drive.
The STORM series lights and INFINIMATS can be updated with a USB-A flash drive (or with a USB-C flash drive for the Storm 80c). We recommend a flash drive with a 128GB capacity or less, formatted as FAT 32.
To do so, do the following:
- Get the firmware for the light you wish to update by browsing to its product page on www.aputure.com or go directly to the Downloads Page www.aputure.com/downloads
- Download the latest Zip file for the firmware you are installing. Take note if there are any release notes.
- Extract the Zip file onto your computer.
- Copy the extracted files onto the root of the USB drive (or USB-C for the 80c). They should not be in any folder.
- Insert USB Drive into the STORM light.
- From the Main menu, go to System Settings ➡️ Firmware Update.
- Select Update Firmware and then "Yes"
The Firmware File should be an unzipped ".bin" file on the root of your USB-C flash drive.
If the normal update process is not working, please try and use the Force USB Update process located here. https://help.aputure.com/en/storm/force-usb-update
