Advertisement Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Hi lct, Take a look here Release of 2.0.1.5 Firmware Update. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mjh Posted June 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2014 Here is the official list of improvements: Improved description of the lens type in Exif-Data Live view is now possible with every lens (including older screw lenses via an adapter) using “manual lens detection” A “Video off” option is now available in the Set menu (see submenu item “Video recording”). The M-Button on the Top-cover is deactivated when this option is chosen. The Horizon (level) is now visible in Live View, overlaying the live image. This additional infoscreen is enabled using the menu item “Horizon” New menu item “Exposure Simulation”o Exposure simulation -> Permanent: Live View accurately shows image brightness according to the shutter speed and aperture set in manual exposure (as long as the chosen exposure time is shorter than 1/30s)o Exposure simulation -> Release button half-pressed: Image brightness in live view is adjusted for best visibility, regardless of the actual exposure. Half pressing the shutter button shows the actual exposure. Extended Auto ISO optionso All Auto ISO options are now visible using the ISO buttono Extra options for “Maximum Exposure Time” - 1x, 2 x, or 4x focal length - can be selected to help avoid camera shake when using auto ISO and long lenses.o “Auto ISO in M mode” is now offered as an option. This varies ISO sensitivity for correct exposure when shutter speed and aperture are set manually.o Alternatively the camera chooses the previous manually chosen ISO speed Crop marksIn Live View, new crop marks for 3:4 / 6:7 / 1:1 / and 16:9 aspect ratios can be displayed. By pressing the up/down keys, the crop marks are superimposed on the live view screen (without additional information) Korean languageKorean is now available as a menu language During video recording, 1/25s is now used instead of 1/24s. This reduces flicker effects with 50Hz mains voltage Exposure bracketing settings are now saved when the camera is switched off Direct exposure correctionAn “EV correction” option in the menu enables direct adjustment. So EV compensation can be altered by turning the thumb wheel, without having to press additional buttons. New Light Metering Mode “Classic / LV disabled”In this mode, only Classic light-metering is possible; the LV button is disabled to avoid the activation of live view by accident. New menu item “Focus Peaking”For improved visibility, the color of focus peaking can now be set to red, green or blue. Better display of GPS location dataPosition is now shown for JPG files in Adobe Lightroom®Where the GPS signal is weak, the last position is now deleted after 5min instead of 24h as in previous firmware versions. Bugfix in Live View at high temperaturesOccasional malfunction of Live View at high temperatures has been fixed Bugfix in light metering (Live view) Bugfix regarding sensor cleaning function Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted June 30, 2014 Auto iso in manual mode with AE lock by half pressing the shutter release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted June 30, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2014 This is an unexpected but very welcome modification: New Light Metering Mode “Classic / LV disabled”. In this mode, only Classic light-metering is possible; the LV button is disabled to avoid the activation of live view by accident. ...and ties in nicely with the somewhat expected: A “Video off” option is now available in the Set menu (see submenu item “Video recording”). The M-Button on the Top-cover is deactivated when this option is chosen. although I've only accidentally activated video twice. This will also be very useful as there are times where I want shutterspeed and aperture fixed times: “Auto ISO in M mode” is now offered as an option. This varies ISO sensitivity for correct exposure when shutter speed and aperture are set manually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaques Posted June 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 30, 2014 many goodies in here! excited! but- (with me there is almost always a but)- now the next thing to be done is to allow the Movie button to become the ISO button... or even better let the user assign whatever function to it that they choose. It makes sense being that it is the 'M' button (multifuction) not the V button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted June 30, 2014 Direct exposure correctionAn “EV correction” option in the menu enables direct adjustment. So EV compensation can be altered by turning the thumb wheel, without having to press additional buttons. More precisely, there is an "Exposure Compensation" option in the SET Menu allowing EV compensation by turning directly the thumb wheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen B Posted June 30, 2014 Share #16 Posted June 30, 2014 Anyone downloading to a Mac? I get the following message: File not found. Please insert memory card with correct firmware file Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaques Posted June 30, 2014 Share #17 Posted June 30, 2014 just downloaded it on my mac and installed successfully. Was using firefox... I suggest formatting the card in the camera first... At Last! Proper Auto ISO- excellent! Can't really believe people who have no use for this function- so handy! Also pleased with focus peaking- can't be sure but it looks like I am seeing more 'peaks' on the LCD screen without needing to zoom? Not sure but it seems that way- maybe I can just see the blue easier than the red... Playback still happens on the EVF first- that is a disappointment... It's all good: Leica left room for more firmware updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
