FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 20, 2017 Share #1  Posted July 20, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK. This is weird.  I have two SL bodies. Both with f.w.3.0. One I updated myself. The other done by Leica while my camera was on holiday with them. Assuming each camera has a native SL lens and identical menu set up (by loading the same profile to each camera).  I am referring to the menu setting for the AE/AF Lock Button (pressing the joystick). The AF mode function selection.  On the camera I updated It's set to zoom (AF mode). However if I enter the selection menu zoom is not offered as a function and I can't set anything else.  On the camera Leica updated the sub-menu works but zoom is not offered as an option.  Leica update camera on the left. Updated by My update on the right. You can see that NONE of the options are available for selection on the right screen. And neither camera has ZOOM as an option in the selection menu.....  So what am I doing wrong??  Gordon  p.s. I reset the cameras and see no difference. Welcome, dear visitor!

Marac Posted July 20, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Just checked mine and its the same as the one on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 20, 2017 Share #3 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Maybe some other setting controls this one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #4 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Maybe some other setting controls this one? Â I've gone through the menus line by line and their identical except for this option.... Â Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted July 20, 2017 Share #5 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Left also on mine. Â Looked at menus and could not see anywhere to change this as suggested by jaapv. Â What does the AE/AF Lock button do when pressed for the the right camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted July 20, 2017 Share #6 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Is there a menu entry to return all settings to factory defaults? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budfox Posted July 20, 2017 Share #7 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine is the same as the left. There is no option to select 'zoom' under AF-Mode (only under MF-mode). This is the same with SL and M lenses (just checked). Does your MF mode have all six options avail?

FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #8 Â Posted July 20, 2017 OK. Thanks. I shall report to Leica. Â MF mode shows all six options and works fine. Â AF mode on the one showing "ZOOM" zooms...... I just can't change it to another function. Â Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budfox Posted July 20, 2017 Share #9 Â Posted July 20, 2017 As per above, what actually happens when you press the joystick in AF mode? Does it in fact zoom? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted July 20, 2017 Share #10 Â Posted July 20, 2017 ..... did it have beta software on it by any chance ..... ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #12 Â Posted July 20, 2017 ..... did it have beta software on it by any chance ..... ?? Â This camera was used as my working body while the other one was away and so it did not have beta software on it. Â Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same with SL and M lenses (just checked). (...)" I also have two SL bodies (FW 3.0), with both SL-Varios and M-lenses; they all work exactly as your SL body on the left. There must be something "wrong" with your "self updated" SL... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted July 20, 2017 Share #16 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Gordon, I've checked and mine's the same as the one on the left. No option to select Zoom under AF-Mode, only under Manual. Â Hope you get it sorted soon and be interested in the outcome. Â Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted July 20, 2017 Share #17 Â Posted July 20, 2017 Is there a menu entry to return all settings to factory defaults? Â Yes, there is, under SETUP, forth screen,second line down RESET CAMERA. Â Regards, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share #18  Posted July 21, 2017 Have you different personal profiles active in both or one cameras?  Francisco.  Loaded the same profiles from the same SD card onto both cameras. Even the file names are now the same. This is the only different function in the menu.  Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share #19  Posted July 21, 2017 Yes, there is, under SETUP, forth screen,second line down RESET CAMERA.  Regards, Tom  Both cameras have been reset several times. This function remains on the affected camera. I think something has gone wrong with the f.w. upgrade. I've contacted Leica as obviously the camera won't let me reload the same firmware.  Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
su25 Posted July 21, 2017 Share #20  Posted July 21, 2017 Loaded the same profiles from the same SD card onto both cameras. Even the file names are now the same. This is the only different function in the menu.  Gordon I assume this difference is when the selected profile is not default? If you save the profile from the camera on the right, and export it to the one on the left, does the menu change? Just wondering..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
