FIRMWARE UPDATES

Leica is continuously working on the further improvement and optimization of your camera. Since many camera functions are entirely controlled by software, some of these improvements and additions to the functional scope can be installed in retrospect. Leica offers firmware updates at irregular intervals, which you can download from our website. Leica will notify you of any new updates, once you have registered your camera. Users of Leica FOTOS will also be automatically noti-fied about firmware updates for their Leica cameras. There are two options for installing firmware updates.

• conveniently via the Leica FOTOS app
• directly via the camera menu

Finding the currently installed firmware version

• Select Camera Information in the main menu
• The current firmware version is displayed next to the menu item Camera firmware version.

More information about registering, firmware updates and how to download them to your camera, as well as any amendments and additions to this manual can be found in the customer area of our website at: club.leica- camera.com

• Do not switch off the camera!

• Do not remove the rechargeable battery!
• Do not remove the lens!

Notes
