No firmware upgrades have been offered for the A350. Is there
some problem you were hoping was corrected? The only downloads that
I'm aware of that are available for Fuji's FinePix A350 are manuals,
USB drivers and brochures, which you can get from :

save images in RAW format...

Fuji's A### series are more or less entry level cameras that don't
provide RAW output files. My old S5100 and the S5200 that replaced
it have RAW, but the current S700/S5700 doesn't. The larger S6000fd
and S9100 cameras support RAW format files, but I don't know if any
of the other small Fuji's do. To get RAW file capability in a small
P&S camera you might have to switch to another brand.

Hello, ASAAR:
Neither Fuji, nor any other outfit, is going to provide such a firmware
update; it's simply not in their best interests to do so. Namely, if you
want a certain feature, then, you must upgrade to a model having it.
For instance, after buying a used Kodak DX6490 (off eBay), last year, I
did a lot of online research on this 10x "super zoom" camera (introduced
during 2003). I learned that a number of its owners were clamoring for
Kodak to add RAW support, in firmware.
It staunchly refused, naturally, and later (2005) came out with its "P"
series of advanced digicams (e.g., my own 12x P850), which did include
RAW capability.
