I do use it, and agree that you can lift the RAW images. However, if you are trying to review on the camera then this is where you can run into some difficulty as the images are dark.

I have found the answer: If the Connectivity Mode is set to performance mode then it is always possible to remotely activate the camera. Eco = 7 days and off is really off.

As above, I have found that with the Q3 power switch set to off, and on selecting connect to the camera it powers on and connects. Is this meant to happen? It seems that off is not really off.

I can confirm that both the battery and card slots are accessible on IDS Q3 grip

Corius The funny thing is, you will now have to explain to the 'Gen Z' readers what that is 🙂

Interestingly, whilst the update is available for download via your link, it is not yet available via the FOTOS app.

Perhaps to complete the transformation, Leica needs to release a silver and perhaps brass coloured Q3 🙂

I'm curious, why on earth did Leica stop making the SF26? It seems the perfect size for the Q cameras.

Don't worry, it is a design feature. Other thread

Ouch, if you're still waiting; nothing like rewarding those that have been on the list since the start.

I still think Leica are looking in the wrong place for this issue (memory card). My shutdown freeze was well after any shots had been taken, and I am running the fastest SanDisk card which was supplied by the Leica online store.

I have had the same powering off issue on several occasions. I have the SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC Card 64GB 300MB/s. I think Leica attempting to point the finger of blame at the memory card is a red herring. The power off issue in my case was well after any data transfer had been completed.

Another freeze yesterday whilst turning off the camera. Had to drop out the battery to recover. Using a SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC Card 64GB 300MB/s as recommended and supplied by the Leica Store.

So realistically, when do we expect the first firmware update post 1.1.0 ?
