A cause worth joining! I sent 2 emails and still have my righteous indignation, you can't beat that.

Poor Nick, I think he's the only one answering email today. At least we have one guy who sees the volume. 8-)

Guess I'm the only one that Nick didn't reply to. I got a much more canned response from Chris!

Canon sent me a survey link for their customer service and I filled it out generally postive, but left it that the issue was not resolved. We'll see what happens.

I just sent my email & filled out that form.

If this works, maybe we should request a complete manual mode next (with shutter & aperture info displayed on the screen).

Marty - chill... :-) I don't have my owners manual in front of me but I believe what you do is download the firmware update to your mini-SD card (the one you use for still photos on the HV20 - ain't got one? $20 for a 1GB card at Buy.com), put the card in the camera and it does the firmware update automatically.

You'd need a card reader for your computer. Download the HV20 update to your computer and copy to the SD card. The Mini (and Micro) SD cards come with their own adapter so a regular, full size SD reader can hold them. Many PC's these days come with a built-in card reader or you can get a USB one for under $20.
