FIXED: An error in the aperture control of the SL lens series APO- Summicron which leads to delays in the con- tenuous shooting speed is fixed. In this context, the firmware of the existing lenses will also be updated.

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 notified  about firmware updates for their Leica cameras.
Finding the currently installed firmware version

• Select   Camera Information   in the main menu
  • The current firmware versions are displayed.

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: https://club.leica-camera.com
EXECUTING A FIRMWARE UPDATE
Any interruption of a running firmware update may cause serious and irreparable damage to your equipment!
You will therefore have to take particular note of the following, when carrying out a firmware update:

• Do not switch off the camera!
• Do not remove the memory card!
• Do not remove the rechargeable battery!
• Do not remove the lens!

Notes

• A warning message will appear if the battery is insufficiently charged. Recharge the battery and then repeat the process described above.

PREPARATION

• Fully charge and insert the rechargeable battery

• The second SD memory card (where applicable) must be removed from the camera

• Any stored firmware files on the memory card must be removed

  • We recommend saving any images on the memory card and reformatting it before the update.
    (Caution: Loss of data! All data stored on the memory card will be lost during formatting.)

•  Download the latest firmware version

•  Save the download to the memory card
