Advertisement Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hi pico, Take a look here X1 Firmware v2 Upgrade [Merged thread]. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
diogenis Posted March 30, 2011 Share #702 Â Posted March 30, 2011 Yes, all in manual mode and again in direct comparison with the GXR A12 "50"mm. The latter one has almost no lag. The X1 has a more pronounced lag, which makes it feel less stealth. But let's not blow this out of proportion, it's certainly not a deal breaker. The new FW makes the X1 an effective and enjoyable tool for MF/ZF, much more so then before. Â Absolutely not. This is a very competent street shooter solution now. Very silent and very discreet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krauthead Posted March 30, 2011 Share #703 Â Posted March 30, 2011 Super update! Â The X1 is now even more incredible. Â Hardly a reason to use a M9 now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhunternyc Posted March 30, 2011 Share #704 Â Posted March 30, 2011 You guys, I don't understand how to upgrade my firmware. I downloaded the file, plugged in my camera via USB cable and tried to unzip the file. When I do this, a message appears saying there is no application that can read the file. What do I do?

gDallasK Posted March 30, 2011 Share #705 Â Posted March 30, 2011 Well, it might have taken Leica a while to get the X1 firmware update out - but that was the quickest update I've ever experienced. It seemed to happen in about three seconds. was anyone else startled by that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You can tell us what type of computer you have. Is it Mac or windows? You need to unzip the downloaded file. On a windows pc, use Winzip or similar. On a Mac, use stuffit. Both have free versions available to download. Â Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I do? david: it sounds like you are on windows (if not forgive me) but the easiest way to update is to extract the file and save it on your desktop then copy the file to a SD Card (not in the DCIM folder)  then put SD card in your camera = turn camera on= hit info button say yes you want to update and you are almost all done  then go to profiles - i hit the default profile and ran through all the options (dont know if this is necessary)  then tried the manual focus- didn't work - followed the directions on the forum and in the pdf manual focus works perfect  formated the SD card  shot some pix of my sleeping dog and futzed a little bit  and called it an update  paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidhunternyc Posted March 30, 2011 Share #715 Â Posted March 30, 2011 O.K. guys. Thank you for all of your help and I'm sorry I am such a ludite. I figured it out. I said "yes" to the format, took out my SD card, plugged it into my computer and dragged the firmware update on top of the SD card icon. I then put the SD card back into my camera and followed the version 2.0 update and it is now complete. It takes much better pictures than before.
