mjh Posted February 10, 2007 Share #41 Â Posted February 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) My source tells me that FW 1.10 will not address the IR issue This should be common knowledge by know. Â nor Leica intends ever to fix it. For now the IR cut filter seems to be the only way Indeed, IR cut filters ARE the fix suggested by Leica. Firmware version 1.10 is necessary for automatically eliminating the red vignetting (aka cyan corners) issue with IR cut filters and some wide-angle lenses. Â unless the problem specific profile is used to correct the color shifting. You can fix the shifting from black to magenta using colour profiles, but not IR-induced colour shifts in general. An IR cut filter is the only universally applicable fix available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Hiro, Â The IR sensitivity isn't something that a firmware change can fix. What 1.10 will do is to compensate for the cyan drift when 35 mm and wider coded lenses are used with 486 filters.
