wlaidlaw Posted December 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) The new V1.2 (mistyped as V2.1) is up on the Leica Website but when you click on it, you get a 403 access forbidden error. Is it embargoed until a certain time of day? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted December 14, 2015 Share #6 Posted December 14, 2015 The image seems appropriate. I just finished checking the lens profiles for several R lenses. The APO-SC-R 90, the APO-Elmarit-R 100, and the Super-Elmarit-R 15 all look way off. But I'll wait to see if the new firmware addresses these lenses. I saw no big problems with the Vario-Elmar-R 35-70/4.0 or the Macro-Elmarit-R 60, and Godfrey reports that the pre-APO 90 is fine. Those are lenses which Jono shot with all summer on his prototype SL, so I expect those have been at least initially attended to. But unless release 1.2 fixes the profiles for the first three that I list, I recommend that you turn lens ID off when using them. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted December 14, 2015 I found that I have had to copy the FW update file to a blank SD card. It would not run from the root directory of my normal card, saying it could not find an FW update file. I checked and it was definitely sitting on the root directory along with my profiles export.

LocalHero1953 Posted December 14, 2015 Share #9 Posted December 14, 2015 Focus mag now on joystick. Correction to log curve function for video. Some bug fixes and image improvements. EXIF data for R lenses corrected. No other changes to functionality according to the instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted December 14, 2015 Paul, Where are you setting mag to joystick? When I go into AE/AF customisation for manual focus I only see the same 5 options as we had before. Do you have to have a manual focus lens mounted?

LocalHero1953 Posted December 14, 2015 Share #14 Posted December 14, 2015 Yes, I had a M lens on the camera. I didn't set anything, just pressed the joystick and the screen magnified. The only other check I have done is that even if you move the magnified area, it resets it to the centre next time (as I hoped). I don't have the SL lens for comparison.

jonoslack Posted December 14, 2015 Share #15 Posted December 14, 2015 HI There Wilson As far as I can see the magnification on the joystick is automatic for M and R lenses . . . (ie no choice), but if you're using the 24-90 or the T lenses then it's as before (so, yes, you need to have a manual focus lens fitted) . . . .

LocalHero1953 Posted December 14, 2015 Share #16 Posted December 14, 2015 And I also have the same 5 customising options. So it looks like this is not an optional assignment. This suits me, but perhaps may not suit others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any of those lenses, but I have to say I didn't find problems with the lens I do have (50 'cron, 60 elmarit, 35-70 f4, 80-200 f4) Is this in Lightroom?

LocalHero1953 Posted December 14, 2015 Share #19 Posted December 14, 2015 Oddly, a short press on the BL button still brings up focus mag: successive presses toggle through low mag, full mag and no mag. The joystick press toggles just full mag and no mag. This looks like a quick and dirty update to address immediate issues without following through on the consequences.

jrp Posted December 14, 2015 Share #20 Posted December 14, 2015 1.2 Release notes say: _ Improved handling for MF lenses: AE/AF Lock button now zooms into 100% instead of AE Lock function to << Not English, but does AE/AF Lock button = joystick? _ Improved of overall image quality for ISO 50 - ISO 400 <<< Does this mean less banding? _ Improved L-Log curve for use for internal 8bit video recordings _ Improved overall image quality of the viewfinder << What does this mean? It was vg already _ Bug fix: correct EXIF Data for use of R-lenses _ Bug fix: length of Wi-Fi passwords extended You can find an updated list of SD card compatibility on the LEICA SL website, section technical data: http://sl.leica-camera.com << Anyone found this compatibility list?
