Product(s): Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer
Subject: New Firmware Release version 02.04
This bulletin was created to inform you of a firmware update that provides upgrades to the
P-2000.
Description of Change:
The firmware has been updated to version 02.04.
Reason:
The firmware provides the following upgrades:
1. Additional RAW file support: The P-2000 now supports RAW format (.cr2 and .crw) images
taken on a Canon EOS Kiss Digital N digital SLR camera.
digital SLR cameras supported by the P-2000 in RAW format, please refer to
PSB.2005.03.001R4.
2. The P-2000 assigns a time stamp to each picture by reading the Created Date information
included in the image header of pictures taken on digital cameras. The Konica Minolta a-7
digital camera uses two methods to timestamp a picture: Updated Date and Created Date.
For pictures taken on the Konica Minolta a-7, the Created Date time stamp information is not
copied properly to the image header so the P-2000 cannot correctly read the time and date
the picture was taken. This causes the P-2000 to assign a time stamp based on the date
and time the image is copied to the P-2000 hard drive.
The new firmware makes it possible for the P-2000 to assign the correct time stamp by
allowing it to read the Updated Date information contained in the image header. This time
stamp method will be applied to any digital camera model that uses both the Updated Date
and Created Date formats for time stamping pictures.
3. The processing time to identify an sD card when first inserted into a P-2000 has been
increased to eliminate time-out errors that may occur on certain manufacturer's cards.
