The X series Camileo Camcorders (X200, X400 and X416) have an issue that dos not allow them to realize their maximum battery life potential.

Update the Firmware in the Camcorder by installing the Firmware update Titled: Battery Enhancement.

1. Download the Firmware update file from the Toshiba Support Website (//support.toshiba.com). You'll want the file for your specific camcorder. The file will be Titled: "Battery Enhancement (followed by the version number)"
2. Make sure the camcorder is fully charged (you do NOT want the camcorder to stop in the middle of the update process.)
3. Make sure there is an SD card in the camcorder with at least 30MB of available storage space on it for the update.
4. Plug the Camcorder into a Windows based PC (desktop or laptop) using a Micro SD to USB cable.
5. Double-click the Firmware executable file (the file you downloaded.)
6. The file will expand, then check the camcorder to see if it needs the update. If the camcorder does need the udpate you will see the image shown in Fig. 1. (Note: If you see a message that says the update is NOT needed this means the camcorder has already been updated.)

7. Next the application will copy the firmware (FW) update to the SD card in the camcorder. You will see the messages shown in Fig's 2 and 3.

9. Follow the instructions given by unpluging the USB cable and powering on the camcorder.
10. On the camcorder screen you'll see a message that reads, "FW Update" then gives two options; "Yes" or "No". Select the "Yes" option.
11. A message will come up saying, "Please do not remove the battery" (so don't remove it!)
12. You may hear a short burst of "static" noise, this is normal!
13. The camcorder will appear to shut down. When this happens restart it.
14. Your camcorder is now updated.
