Update - Solved both issues by adding the letter "v" onto the downloaded file name.

 

Leica needs to update the file on their website!!!

 

 

Hi All,

 

Hoping someone can help me here...

 

I have two Leica T both on firmware 1.1

 

First, I can't seem to update either cameras with firmware 1.5. I have followed the direction to the "T" and tried it multiple times. It simply won't show the firmware update screen.

 

Second, none of the lens that I have seems to be work on either camera. I have the 35mm f/1.4 TL and the 11 - 23 Elmar-T "kit" lens. It simply shows a blank screen with "F0.0" on the upper right hand side.

 

Any advice on either one?

Sorry, I can;t help,you, because I have exactly the same problem.

I got the help from a local store at Palo Alto, but even the Leica expert here can't not solve the problem.

I did these:

-- fully charged the battery

-- format the SD card (32GB)

-- download the firmware (given by the store) and put it at the top level folder.

-- push the feed-doit button (the video button), hold it then switch on the camera. 

-- wait, and wait, and wait....

 

I ended up send the camera back to the B&H for an exchange.

 

The suspects are:

 

-- The battery is damaged, can not show fully charged to the camera.

-- The SD card is not compatible.
-- The camera body 

-- The lens (18-55mm) (damaged or dirty contacts).

 

I will see how it goes once I get the replacement.

ADD LEVEL V:

 

You mean change  it from "T701_155.TUF" to "T701_155.TUFV"

Or "T701_155v.TUF"

 

Could you be more precise please? Thanks.
