gjames9142 Posted March 29, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having installed the beta firmware, I now find that the camera will not focus manually with the new scale. The focusing wheel operates correctly with other functions. Is this me or the machine ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharyngula Posted March 29, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Try holding down the delete/focus button for more than a second to toggle on/off the focus (wheel) lock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firesuite Posted March 29, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Youve installed a beta version or the final firmware 2.0 from Leica website ? Â I had the same thing until I re-read the instructions~ Â After the update is done you need to power off and back on the camera and then go to user profile and select factory setting, once I done this and re-formatted the memory card in camera my MF dial started to work, from what i read elsewhere also the camera functions do not operate properly until the firmware has been deleted of the card, I haven't confirmed this myself though.. Â Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbonedeedo Posted March 29, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Toggle between MF and AF. Another forum member had the same issue and said that resolved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenPatterson Posted March 29, 2011 Share #7 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Same issue here, but thanks to the forum problem sorted. I'm a little puzzled why the default is to power on in Manual 'Focus Lock". Oh well... Â Focus speed seems about the same for me. Not slow, not fast. Not a problem. All in all it's a fantastic little camera and a nice companion to my M8.2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinglj Posted March 31, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted March 31, 2011 Same problem here . I think that I have resolved it as per the above suggestions --thank you--but have a lingering worry that there is a bug in there . Also where's the depth of field scale or have I missed something? Â I am pretty certain that the power up time on start up is marginally shorter and there is absolutely no doubt that the autofocus speed in low light/low contrast conditions is significantly improved. It is an improvement but one has to ask why did it take so long and why did they not take the opportunity to fix a few other defects -- such as having a DNG only setting?

Your DOF varies with aperture of course, and thus the length of the green bar will vary as you incease or decrease your aperture setting. Try stopping down from f2.8 to f16. The green bar will extend in length to indicate a greatly expanded DOF. Nice & simple, clever & effective IMHO.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
