The SL 24-90mm can produce outstanding images at any aperture throughout its zoom range. When I first acquired my example I invariably 'stopped down a bit' thinking that smaller apertures enable better results – but I soon learnt that full aperture can be used with impunity.

Try reformatting the SD card in your computer and then fit it back into the camera. If there is some charge in the battery, the camera might then switch on – enabling the SD card to be reformatted 'in camera' and battery to be fully charged. You could also try another SD card after reformatting same using your computer.

Only one solution for removing dust from a fixed lens digital compact camera's sensor and lens – a qualified technician's service. Forget about using a vacuum which unlikely to remedy the problem.

i use the original Novoflex SL/EOS adapter with various Canon TSE lenses on my SL 601; this adapter is not compatible with the SL2 series and SL3. Lens aperture is thus controlled by the camera. The Novoflex adapter is not suitable for EOS AF lenses but for manual focus EOS lenses it's fine.

Further Edit: When I attached the SL 24-90mm, a lens firmware update commenced which took maybe 5 minutes . Lens firmware is 3.0; no idea what lens firmware was installed previously.

Just tried installing SL601 Firmware 4.1. When dragged to the SD card can see it loading and ends with a PING .... but when trying to load firmware to the camera receive message "NO FIRMWARE FOUND" . Will reformat SD card & try the USA version. Tried two freshly formatted SD cards so far. EDIT: The Leica USA Firmware 4.1 update is fine. See #1 above. The update advice received via email earlier today links to a dodgy download
