jaapv Posted June 16, 2015 Share #23 Posted June 16, 2015 This new firmware will lock the bayonet permanently as soon as you attach a 28 mm lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 16, 2015 Share #24 Posted June 16, 2015 M_240-2.0.2.5-2.FW 8.1 mb 8,131,619 octets? If so, it is a renamed FW 2.0.1.7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted June 16, 2015 Share #26 Posted June 16, 2015 I think this happened last time: until the new FW was actually available to download, they used the old FW as a sort of placeholder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornnb Posted June 16, 2015 Share #27 Posted June 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I hope it finally fixes my two major annoyances with the current firmware. Please allow exposures longer than 60 seconds! And a way to turn off long exposure noise reduction (if I'm shooting fireworks for example that can cause you to miss the right moment, all I can say is I shoot Sydney New Years Eve with my Canon) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted June 16, 2015 Share #28 Posted June 16, 2015 Interesting that there's no announcement from Leica. Still nothing showing new on the UK site. Be nice if they could sort out the lockups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 16, 2015 Share #29 Posted June 16, 2015 You wouldn't use turning off the long exposure correction anyway. Without it, it would be an unusable file. The correction is not the normal software type, it is a second exposure that deducts the hot pixels from the image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loren Posted June 16, 2015 Share #30 Posted June 16, 2015 I hope it finally fixes my two major annoyances with the current firmware. Please allow exposures longer than 60 seconds! And a way to turn off long exposure noise reduction (if I'm shooting fireworks for example that can cause you to miss the right moment, all I can say is I shoot Sydney New Years Eve with my Canon) I'd like to see this, too. I'd probably dump my Nikon equipment if the M could perform a 4 to 5 minute long single exposure without undue noise, but I suspect that there is a hardware limitation somewhere that constrains the maximum exposure time that can't be fixed in firmware.

Berlinman Posted June 16, 2015 Share #31 Posted June 16, 2015 I think they try to fix some of the FW-related reasons of lock ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correction is not the normal software type, it is a second exposure that deducts the hot pixels from the image. I realise this. But sometimes, I'd prefer to remove hot pixels myself in Lightroom than risk losing the right moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but since the only time I experience long exposure noise reduction is when I forget to remove the lens cap before pressing the release, I would like to switch it off permanently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted June 16, 2015 Share #34 Posted June 16, 2015 Seems that after the release of the Q, Leica's software developer has finally got some time to work on fixes for the M240 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebf Posted June 16, 2015 Share #36 Posted June 16, 2015 Seems that after the release of the Q, Leica's software developer has finally got some time to work on fixes for the M240 This made me laugh. I imagined someone, with a white coat, surrounded by mechanical bodies and lens parts everywhere, with an IBM XT computer, developing the firmware code. Oh. And white gloves. :-) Back to the topic, I can't find any confirmation of the changes. Leica's website doesn't let me download the firmware yet.

jaques Posted June 16, 2015 Share #37 Posted June 16, 2015 You wouldn't use turning off the long exposure correction anyway. Without it, it would be an unusable file. The correction is not the normal software type, it is a second exposure that deducts the hot pixels from the image. wouldn't it be possible to have a mode where you only do a single 'darkframe subtraction' after an entire series of long exposures? Is it vital that it be done immediately after a frame is taken and for every individual frame taken? Is that for sure 100%? And if it is so- is it certian that the M240 couldn't do longer than 60 sec exposures for any mechanical reason? Or have Leica made an Aesthetic decision based on some definition of 'acceptable' noise? If the latter- I would prefer to be given the option to decide for myself. I really enjoyed taking exposures up to 240 seconds- at all ISO's on the M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted June 16, 2015 Share #38 Posted June 16, 2015 So that you'll come home with a black frame without noticing ? Everytime I realise what I've done almost immediately, but have to wait for the noise reduction process to end - switching off only sometimes halts the process. It usually happens when I see a potential shot but haven't got my camera ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 16, 2015 Share #39 Posted June 16, 2015 yes exactly 8,131,619 octets Then that is the same i've picked up on the German site i guess. I've downloaded a copy of it here (http://tinyurl.com/njbxjk2) out of curiosity but it is recognized as FW 2.0.1.7 by the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardkaraa Posted June 16, 2015 Share #40 Posted June 16, 2015 On cameras that give you the choice to turn off long exposure NR, I realized that the amount of hot pixels to clone out was just too much to be worth it. There are just too many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
