wag Posted February 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone received an M8 with 1.0 Firmware, yet? Has Leica started shipping 1.0 yet. Thanks for any info. Brad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica DeOcean Posted February 14, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2007 Sent the M8 to Solms for the "upgrade" and it, too, came back two weeks ago with the 1.09 firmware still on it. I was hoping that the firmware would have been upgraded to the 1.10 version. I asked the dealer and was told it hasn't been distributed yet. Don't know when.

wparsonsgisnet Posted February 14, 2007 Share #6 Posted February 14, 2007 We would really like them to GET THIS RIGHT. Don't forget that they have to work with Phase One again to get the profiles correct. Maybe they're also working with Adobe for PS profiles. The only thing we're missing is the correction for cyan-shift -- and I don't hear that a lot of us have coded lenses, anyway. The cyan-shift correction can be handled in sw for the moment. When they're ready, I would expect to see that fact posted HERE, first. We have very connected posters on the Forum. I am making perfectly good images using the profiles supplied by Jamie and Edmund, and using the advice of the pic monsters who help us. Stay cool, man.

marknorton Posted February 14, 2007 Share #7 Posted February 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I agree with Bill. There's a lot riding on this release of the firmware - the whole IR filtering/cyan correction thing, improvements hopefully to AWB, banding of various kinds, rainbow streaking, battery meter, colour profiles, jpeg improvements, maybe 4Gb card support improvements... and on and on. And that's before they even get to fixing the bugs. Far better that they wait until it's ready and has been through a proper test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted February 14, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 14, 2007 I agree with Bill and Mark. My M8 is now in Solms, for "upgrade". I would like to have it with firmware 1.10, but I think Leica must to do it right. If my camera returns with firmware 1.09... well, I will apply the upgrade when it is available at Leica's website. That's all. I prefer this software upgrade solves as many problems or bugs as possible. The IR contamination problem is not the only one to address. Other minor problems have been discovered. I will not put pressure on them. Far better that they wait until it's ready and has been through a proper test. That's right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
