jdlaing Posted November 9, 2014 Share #21 Posted November 9, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The "new" Summaries have different codes than the old Summarits? They seem to be the same lenses, old and new... Probably as they are a different speed lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Hi jdlaing, Take a look here Is there new firmware for the M9 and MM?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pop Posted November 10, 2014 Share #22 Posted November 10, 2014 1:2.4 vs 1:2.5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted November 11, 2014 Share #23 Posted November 11, 2014 does that mean that the 6 bit coding on the lens flange is different then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen.w Posted November 12, 2014 Share #25 Posted November 12, 2014 I did it also on my M-E. So far it looks same as before, writing data is slow as before...... it is probably an update for new lens coding such Summarit-M f/2.4. I will use more to see if the shutter locks when in discreet mode (I use to get it often with 1.196. Massimo Let us know how you fare. I would like that resolved with mine, as "discrete + soft" is my preferred advance mode and the M-E won't let me revert to a previous version of the M9 firmware.

jaapv Posted November 12, 2014 Share #26 Posted November 12, 2014 On most cameras that exhibit this problem the discreet+soft lockup bug only manifests itself in Continuous mode. If that is the case with you the solution is simple: disable discrete when shooting on C. The combination makes no sense anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikonJeff Posted November 12, 2014 Share #28 Posted November 12, 2014 Single shot mode in my case, and on two different bodies. Same here - I also run into a problem whereas sometimes even in just discreet mode the shutter will take a extra time to cycle after releasing the shutter button… Mine happens on my M9 and MM and is repeatable. I NEVER use continuous mode so my issue is in single release mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the new update on an M9 and have no problems with "discrete + soft". I rarely use 'soft' because it obviates exposure lock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like that resolved with mine, as "discrete + soft" is my preferred advance mode and the M-E won't let me revert to a previous version of the M9 firmware. With 1.196 I got many time the shutter locked when in discreet mode also when shooting a single shot. I tested both C and S shoot with the new firmware and I was not able to lock the shutter. In C mode I got the camera frozen due to slow transfer data to the card but not the shutter locked as before..... So far my experience is positive.

stephen.w Posted November 13, 2014 Share #34 Posted November 13, 2014 I have the new update on an M9 and have no problems with "discrete + soft". I rarely use 'soft' because it obviates exposure lock.I like the hair-trigger "soft" shutter release, as it's closest in use to a film M. Not a fan of the mushy double/triple step shutter.

Chuck Albertson Posted November 13, 2014 Share #39 Posted November 13, 2014 Has the buffer speed increased? I think that's a hardware issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
