Keith (M) Posted July 26, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks, Leon - shame I had to decline the opportunity to be a Beta tester, but maybe next time Looks to be a very useful set of changes but one item somewhat bemuses me:- In addition, the menu item "Profiles" is directly accessible and provides quick and easy access to everyone in the user profiles stored function. Directly accessible how? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoe Posted July 26, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2016 I've downloaded the firmware to my formatted card, inserted in camera with full charged battery, HELD down video button and turned to ON and I get a spinning wheel in the center that doesn't go the next step. What am I doing wrong? Don't what to brick my Q. Please help if you can. Thank you, Markoe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted July 26, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 26, 2016 Markoe - did you copy the file into the root directory of your card? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoe Posted July 26, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2016 Markoe - did you copy the file into the root directory of your card? There are no other files on the card so I assume that is the root directory. Does that sound correct? Thank you Keith for your reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandySteve Posted July 26, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 26, 2016 I have the same problem, firmware is in the root area of the SD card, but when I start up with record button held down, I just get the normal display image on the monitor?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DandySteve Posted July 26, 2016 Share #9 Posted July 26, 2016 The file downloaded off the Leica site as a 'urp' file, not zipped. As soon as I turn on, with video button held, it just shown the normal view on the screen, no menu, nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillpix Posted July 26, 2016 Share #10 Posted July 26, 2016 I've successfully updated to version 2 without any issues. Does anyone know how to adjust the size of the focus metering area box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I turn on, with video button held, it just shown the normal view on the screen, no menu, nothing Mac or Windows OS ? The urp does not need to be unzipped but it may have been seen as a txt file in Windows ... make sure the .urp is the ending of the file. Try a reset of your camera and then format the SD card in camera after reset .... If your battery is not 100% it may not give you the option of upgrading. Hope this is of some help.

brillpix Posted July 26, 2016 Share #12 Posted July 26, 2016 I've just found the answer to my own question above. To adjust the size of the focus box, hold the delete button and turn the thumbwheel. There are now three sizes! yay! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that there was at least one other firmware file available for another camera. Any chance you downloaded this one instead. It would certainly explain why your camera refused to recognise the file Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfleet Posted July 26, 2016 Share #19 Posted July 26, 2016 Directly accessible how? Via the FN button... If you have set the Menu > FN button in Live View to "User Profile", a short press of the FN button will bring it up, and then you can use the thumbwheel or direction pad to scroll to your desired profile. If you have the FN button set to something else, i.e. white balance, file format, etc., a long press of the FN button will bring up the whole list of options. Scroll to the User Profile, release the FN button and do another short press to see/select your profiles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
