Firmware update for AF100 (Mac users)

Another boring technical post, possibly of some use to fellow Panasonic AF100 and Mac owners:

When you're upgrading firmware and it doesn't work, follow the directions to use the mysterious "Invisible File Deletion Tool for Mac" supplied by Panasonic.

The one thing the instructions leave out is that, after you've copied the little app to your (camera-formatted) SD card and run it successfully, you have to then remove the app from the SD card (drag it to the trash.)

If you don't, the camera won't recognize the SD card.

Strange but true.
