      Bug #1: It does not detect my battery grip, and thus only shows one battery installed.

        Hmm… after a few on-and-offs, it detects the grip again.

      Does anyone know where you can get step by step instructions for installing this update. I have a non technical friend with this camera and she needs some assistance. Thanks

        Hi Jake – download the zip file for Windows and when you unzip it you will find PDF files in various languages including English with full installation instructions.
