Pobah Posted July 1, 2014 Share #201 Posted July 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks digitalfx, somehow it doesn't seem to want to let me reinstall the FW, I've tried on two SD cards (one the same as when I did it the first time) and also with a fresh batter, just to be safe, but no luck...

Advertisement Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Pobah, Take a look here Release of 2.0.1.5 Firmware Update. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
viramati Posted July 1, 2014 Share #202 Posted July 1, 2014 Have you tried without the multifunction grip? As far as I know none of the beta-testers had any problems with lock-ups but then I don't know if any were shooting with the multi-function grip As to reinstalling the FW it would seem that once it is installed you can't do it again and you can't go back to a previous version so you might have to contact leica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pobah Posted July 1, 2014 Share #203 Posted July 1, 2014 Hi David, Indeed I have tried with the regular bottom plate, not using the Multifunction grip. Through repeated on / off cycles, removing the battery and SD card (and changing them again) I was able to get the screen up a couple more times but always same result: it locks and the screen goes off. I did see that it had battery at 0% (which, after installing the update and taking a few pictures, was at 70% before the initial freeze up) so I thought to take the battery out, plug it in, and wait. Hopefully that has some positive effects!! Thanks and best to you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted July 1, 2014 Share #204 Posted July 1, 2014 sounds odd that it would go from 70% to 0% so quickly so maybe a battery issue ( and even from 100% to 70% just after installing the firmware). Give it a full charge and hopefully it will sort itself. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pobah Posted July 1, 2014 Share #205 Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks again David, appreciate your patience!! I'm sure I saw on the LCD, brief as the time was that it was on, that it said battery at 0%. In the charger it took just about 20 minutes or so to get the orange 80% light to come on, which makes sense as per how much I remember the battery having left. Same symptoms prevail. I called Leica in New Jersey, and they said they hadn't seen anything like this yet with this version of the FW, and to take the battery out overnight to hopefully clear any gremlins out. Otherwise, I think will have to send it in for service. On top of this, while trying to get this camera back to life, the Macro-Adapter-M arrived by UPS, so no way to test it out yet!! Have a nice afternoon and all the best to you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oarlange Posted July 1, 2014 Share #206 Posted July 1, 2014 Color seems to have changed after firmware update. Colder than reality when you compare to the actual scene. Is this just in my perception, or have anyone else seen this? Of course I can correct in Lightroom (using DNG), but there will be more work :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsheepdog Posted July 1, 2014 Share #208 Posted July 1, 2014 It is still there for me. This in response to the "exposure lock" diode not illuminating on my first FW upgrade attempt. I did another download and reload of the software. The instructions on the Leica Rumours would not link, so it was by guess, and I concede, reading the instructions, had I been able to, may have helped. It did a brief "updating" message, but no luck with the diode. I then hit "reset" and it all seems, after that, and touchwood, to be working. I mention this not to demonstrate my cleverness, which is not great, but just in case any others run into the same issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woorob Posted July 1, 2014 Share #209 Posted July 1, 2014 Just wanted to thank Leica and the LUF beta testers for the great job on the new firmware. Just had a chance to try it out for the first time, and it really makes things better when using the EVF. Other changes are great too. Thanks!

AlanJW Posted July 2, 2014 Share #210 Posted July 2, 2014 One observation on the new FW: You can now disable LV, using classic metering only. When you do so, you may still use the EVF even though LV is off. I find this quite useful as when using the EVF I do not need or want LV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
osscat Posted July 2, 2014 Share #211 Posted July 2, 2014 Color seems to have changed after firmware update. Colder than reality when you compare to the actual scene. Is this just in my perception, or have anyone else seen this? Of course I can correct in Lightroom (using DNG), but there will be more work :-( Have you checked if the colour is srgb or rgb - my setup was completely altered when FW was installed - I just reset all my preferences and then played with the EV and Auto ISO. I must say I am pleased thus far. No unwanted movies wheee! Osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
