X1 Firmware v2 Upgrade [Merged thread]


Lost.

Has anyone else noticed that if the camera is in playback mode (ie displaying a previously taken photo) that shutdown is almost immediate, rather than having to wait the few seconds I seem to remember in V1?

 

Unfortunately, this rapid shutdown does not seem to occur while in liveview mode. That's odd...I wonder why Solms programmed it this way?

I have updated the firmware to version 2.0 as instructed but the manual focus function has completely stopped:(. Can anyone offer any advice or comment on this?

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

Kevin, welcome to the Leica forum!

As a newcomer you may not be familiar with the Search function. In fact your question was raised several times in another thread. You are not the first one to be caught out. Incidentally, did you download the pdf file of instructions? It gives you a summary of improved features.

i just got a new X1 yesterday. I went to upgrade the firmware and i don't understand what is happening. which is nothing.

1. i downloaded the firmware upgrade.

2. i opened the zip file.

3. i formatted the card.

4. i placed it on the top level of the card.

5. i placed the card inside the camera.

6. and there is no message that asks me to confirm if i want to upgrade. zero. nada. i put the card in several times. i even downloaded and did the whole process again.

7. am i supposed to go into format and when it asks if i want to format, press yes.

8. i never remember it happening that way.

9. i think the camera is automatically supposed to recognize the file you just put in on the sd card and ask if you want to upgrade.

10. what am i missing here? this is unnerving to me. otherwise my x1 is stellar and performs perfectly. any ideas? please help thank you.

hi guys, i've a question.

 

i've updated the firmware to V2.

it states V2 in the menu.

however, unlike TS, when i switch to manual focus mode my manual focus isn't locked.

does that mean something went wrong with the update?

 

sorry for hijacking your post...

lazarus,

i thought you were referring to something i didn't read. yes i read the pdf instructions several times. i thought that i listed everything i did according to that pdf. i did not connect the camera into the computer. is that something i have to do? maybe that is my mistake?

it said, alternately you can use memory card reader which is how i did it. so i feel i was still following their directions. do you have any ideas for me? i really want this to work and don't know why everybody had such a simple easy time with it.

Make sure it's really top level and not the DCIM-folder you put your file.

Make sure the file is named "X1-V20.upd"

Both (DCIM and X1-V20.upd) should bee seen side by side when looking at the SD-Card in finder.

 

If all this does not work: Use another SD-card. Some (especially bigger SD-cards) where reported to make problems with the update.

 

Good luck.

You can lock/unlock MF by holding the delete/focus button...

Today, the battery lasted 54 photos. Firmware 2. What are your experiences? Petr

 

It shouldnt be. I shot 70-80 photos from yesterday and this morning, and that includes chimping on the LCD as my wife and I were looking at shots. battery down only by a quarter.
