I keep getting "File Not Found"  I've formatted a card in the camera,
loaded the M_240-2.0.1.7.FW file at the top level of the card's structure,
put the card back in the camera, turned it on while holding the Info
button.  A screen comes up that says Loading File and then one that says
File Not Found.  I've tried it at least 10 times with different cards.
When I put the card back in the read, I can see the file there at the top
level. What am I doing wrong?
