Can't answer your question but as a fellow TZ1 owner I just wondered why do you want TZ1 firmware? what are you trying to improve?

I have a TZ1 that I bought even before the US announced release date. Circuit City apparently got the first batch in the US.
Then I bought one for Younger Daughter and noticed that hers got the focus correct nearly always, in contrast to my TZ1 which often guessed wrong. I bought a second TZ1 a year later on closeout and this one is accurate. It remains my primary camera.
Now I want to tune up that early TZ1 to be the equal of #'s 2 and 3. At least half its pictures are flawless, so I'm hoping later firmware is all it needs to move that up to 90+%.
The frame counter on the later TZ1 is now over 21,000, so it seemed a good idea to get the backup camera ready to put in service again. Just in case.

Aah I see another satisfied owner. Luckilly I must have a later one then too as mine is OK. I'd be inclined to send it back to Panasonic and explain since it was an original fault & you are a satisfied owner of two later cameras. If you ask nicely who knows they might fix it for you for nothing.

Over nearly three years, I don't remember ever seeing a reference to it either. It looks like I will have to send the camera to the service facility for update.
