davidmires Posted March 15, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted March 15, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Last night I experienced a couple of minor lock ups, slow write times and (it seems) diminished raw buffer space. I never had these issues with the earlier firmware. I'm going to go back to 1.09 for a while, and wait for 1.1... Also, I had a lot of the "centerfold" lines and some annoying banding. I have been putting off the "update", but perhaps now is the time to bite the bullet, buy a brick of tri-x, and call N.J. to make the necessary arrangements:( Â Has anyone else been experiencing increased write times, and/or any lockups that you feel are related to the firmware change?

tashley Posted March 15, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted March 15, 2007 Dave, I heard that rolling back is explicitly warned against by Leica. Not sure why but I'd think twice... Â TIm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I've been using 1.92 since the morning it came out and have not had any real problems. The only glitch I've had is when reviewing a image and turning the wheel to Zoom in. First turn/click of the wheel takes me to the 9 thumbnail image display and then I have to wheel through that to zoom. I also had that with 1.91. Which I only had on the camera for about 1 hour.

fjmcsu Posted March 15, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted March 15, 2007 Let us know if & when you do revert, as it will be interesting to see what happens (based on warning not to do so).So far no problems updating 1.09-1.091-1.092. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Flatline Posted March 15, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted March 15, 2007 Actually, now that you mention it, I have had some lock-ups. They're annoying, but I just shut off the camera, and turn it back on - resigning myself to a lost shot. It's quite annoying, come to think of it.

gravastar Posted March 15, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted March 15, 2007 I've reverted the firmware backwards and forwards several times between the three versions without any problems. I did this when I was trying to see what had been changed. Â Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 15, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted March 15, 2007 Geez now I'm scared to go back... I wonder what could happen? Â When 1.091 was "released" Leica themselves advised reverting to 1.09. So I doubt any harm will be done. I noticed, when doing that myself, that 1.09 needed to be installed twice to wipe all traces of 1.091 and to reset the version number on the display to the correct 1.09 instead of 1.009.

jamriman Posted March 16, 2007 Share #11 Â Posted March 16, 2007 I got some banding issues, but only once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted March 16, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted March 16, 2007 My only issue since upgrading has been two times with the preview photo, it has come up as horizontal zebra stripes on the entire screen. When I hit the play button after the preview goes off, the image is there but the "zebra" preview has worried me. Is there something else going on? I did not have these with the original 1.09. Can only wait and see!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem7 Posted March 16, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted March 16, 2007 I have also had a few issues with the latest FW. 2 lockups just today, and it appears my color is not as good outdoors. Not sure what is up. I also had a stripe down the middle of one image. I never had one problem with the previous FW. Â Where can I download the previous version??
