The download stalled twice, reading "1 hour, 20 minutes" to complete the download, when I jumped to the link from the announcement email. When I logged into the owner's area, it downloaded in four minutes.

Mine took a couple of minutes but would not open. Tried twice same result, never happened before.

I downloaded from the link in the email on Dec 13.  Had no problems.  So this issue (Godfrey's problems downloading, not confusion of the .upd file with a zipped file that needs to be opened first) is new.

It's most likely just a transient network glitch from my network service provider. I wouldn't consider it an "issue" unless several people, accessing the site from different service providers, experience it. :-)

I had to download twice...

 

With the first download after turning on the camera an error message was displayed.

 

I downloaded again, same file size and then it worked perfectly... no idea what went wrong the first time...

It's just that when I download the 2.2 firmware to my computer, then transfer it to my SD card then putting it in the camera it says that 2.2 is already downloaded but the camera info says 2.1. Odd.

 

 

Did you : 

  1. Go to MENU / SETUP / Camera Information / Firmware

  2. Press “Start Update” and confirm to start the process ?

Just having it on the SD card doesn't auto-install. When you go to information after inserting the SD card, the version installed should be 2.1. After you do the update and then restart the camera, it should tell you v2.2 is installed. 

 

Remember: After the installation is complete, power the camera off, then on again without removing the SD card. After the camera is restarted and the red activity light goes out, you can power it off, put the SD card back into your card reader, and delete the firmware update file.

That's funny caus I was asked if I wanted to keep my profiles, a straight yes or no, I chose no caus I don't have any.

Profiles are a simple way to save your settings. I can't imagine using the SL without doing so as the user interface is almost entirely built around customization of buttons and features.

I can easily imagine it. Because I don't use profiles.

I set up my SL the way I liked it one year ago and haven't had a need to A/ change it B/ switch between setups.

But of course I admit everyone will be different in this respect.

For use in manual focus mode, I have only slightly departed from the way the camera came to me.  (I put the R lens profiles on a button, but actually don't need them now.)  But I just snagged a second SL and the 24-90 in the online souk for less than the price of the body alone, so now I'll have to set up an autofocus profile as well.  My intention was to use one for M lenses and one for R, but temptation got the better of me...

The point was not to switch between them, though that's a nice feature. It was having the ability to reload settings after a FW update.

 

It sounds as if the new FW updates are not requiring this if you are not saving settings to begin with and are still not losing them.
