John McMaster Posted September 13, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2016 I see there is an S(006) update as well but nothing for the original S2 :-( john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deliberate1 Posted September 13, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2016 I see there is an S(006) update as well but nothing for the original S2 :-( john Found it, but no explanation detailing the FW changes. Would like to know before I do it. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrayson3 Posted September 13, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 13, 2016 From the S(006) firmware installation instructions: _ GPS Iceland Bug Fix: reduction of the camera start-up time when GPS is activated in the geographic region of Iceland _ latest Leica S lens rmware as part of the camera rmware;This Leica S lens rmware is mandatory to reach failure-free performance of Leica S lenses with Leica SL (Typ 601) via Leica S-Adapter L. (In the beginning this lens rmware update was only possible via Leica S (Typ 007)) --Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted September 13, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 13, 2016 Why they cannot allow us with original S2s to update firmware :-( Not seen enough benefit to me to update from my S2-P as yet, but they have stopped the standalone FW upgrades.... john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicapages Posted September 13, 2016 Share #6 Posted September 13, 2016 Great to see that they fixed the GPS bug for the high north on S Typ 006 cameras (several users, including myself had reported this to the S customer service). However, does anyone know if they have also done something about the general speed of GPS activation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieri Posted September 13, 2016 Share #7 Posted September 13, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) As a side note - I think that's great that users of previous S cameras can now upgrade their lenses to the latest FW and therefore being able to use them on the SL via the S-Adapter L without having to go through Leica service Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted September 14, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 14, 2016 Unless you have an S2 or S2-P :-( john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted September 16, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 16, 2016 After installing the update on my Leica S-E (Typ 006) it also wanted to update my Leica S lenses (for that SL compatibility which I undestood) but it also updated my Leica S-Adapter C which doesn't make sense since it's not compatible with the SL anyway (only native S lenses)... What do we think is updated for the adapter in the latest firmware? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 16, 2016 Share #10 Posted September 16, 2016 Does this work with the Tilt Lift lens as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted September 16, 2016 Share #11 Posted September 16, 2016 I updated the other day and no issues so far!!! Still waiting for Leica to add the option of having the histogram come on automatically on the LED with the picture review... Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertknappmd Posted September 27, 2016 Share #15 Posted September 27, 2016 It has that already Henry Albert Henry- How do I access this.. I wish to have the LED superimposed on the LED when the exposure is taken. Now you have to push a button to get it... Thanks, Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertknappmd Posted September 29, 2016 Share #17 Posted September 29, 2016 It has that already Henry Albert Actually the 4.0.0.0 update now allows you to keep the b&w histogram icon visible on the LED via an active screen saver only while the 007 is on.. Once you turn the 007 off and then turn it back on, you are left with the default settings on the LED which does not include the histogram. You then are forced to toggle the right lower button and the histogram re-appears. Would like Leica to leave histogram on all the time. This would require a simple code change to remove histogram from automatic default settings when camera is turned off.... So we are ALMOST there!
