HMC150 new firmware!
I just upgraded my camera from firmware 1.16 to 1.19. You can get the firmware at P2 Asset Support System (PASS). You must register your camera to get access.

Firmware Update-NO MAC Version!!! Unacceptable!!!!
I would seriously like to hear from Jan regarding this or some other person from Panasonic. This is absolute BS. I have no intention of moving this to a Mac versus WIN thing. It just seems to me that Panasonic needs to cut the crap and service ALL the customers who have gone out and supported their move to AVCHD and bought the HMC150. There is NO excuse for this lack of support and even less excuse for Panasonic not to explain their actions, be it through Jan on this forum or elsewhere. It is bad enough that those of us with a major investment in Apple equipment and software are having to deal with Apple dragging its feet in bringing their "Professional and World Class" editing software up to date and many of us are and have been waging the letter/email war to get this to change now. We hardly need this nonsense from Panasonic. If Panasonic were not going to support ALL their customers with this camera they should have told us so to begin with and we could have decided before the purchase. And I don't accept the use BOOTCAMP nonsense either! Why should I have to buy a new OS and go through the hassle of loading it on my computer?
Speak up Panasonic! __________________

The update only works with a windows machine, XP or Vista. It updates through a USB cable not the SD card.
I also heard it won't work with 64 bit system, but I'm not sure about that. The update is to fix a couple of small bugs. Quote:

How long does the firmware update take?
My camera has been updating for almost an hour now and doesn't seem to be making progress. The light on the cam is blinking but the progress bar on the computer is not moving. Is the utility frozen? I am running Windows XP. Please help. This worries me. Last edited by Brendon Costello; March 26th, 2009 at 08:28 AM. |

I got mine about 2 weeks ago, and it came with 1.19, so most likely yours will already be updated as well.

Go on the panasonic website and download the latest firmware update. That firmware makes it compatible with Class 10.

FWIW, I got my HMC in Dec 2009
and just now checked the firmware version. It's 1.19. I'm pretty sure I've never changed it, (I doubt I would have without reading Barry's book first, and I haven't done that yet), so I suppose they were shipping w/1.19 since at least mid/late Dec.
I also bought a Class 10 card with the camera, and it's been working fine since I got it. HTH

Another unhappy MAC user
I agree with Murphy - there is no reason for Panasonic not supporting the MAC format. I'm unhappy about the firmware update requiring access to a PC. It seems the easiest thing would be to install the update from the SD card, then anyone could load the update file to a card and stick it in the camera to install.
