CL firmware update

Such a swap would be a deal breaker for me. M and CL cameras are designed the same way more or less. Exposure compensation with the right dial under the thumb and shutter speeds with the left dial under the index finger. I did not know that T and TL2 are designed otherwise and i wonder why.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica L-Mount

I would not like such a swap either. I use M with M lenses and magnification under the right hand dial is intuitive.

It sounds like having it user configurable might be a reasonable compromise here...

There has been plenty of grumbling about this since day 1 and I am sure Leica is aware that it is one of the main requested firmware modifications. Time will tell.

+1.  This is the way the T and TL2 work.  I have no idea why they changed it for the CL.  After 6 months it still drives me insane...

 

 

Same here, coming from the SL and all the simple settings available, I still cannot figure out who did work on the CL menus... certainly not field  users . 

 

And the video mode leaves me speechless...

Agree, should be possible. Seems like a difference of usage between manual users and (semi)automatic users.

After 4 months use I love this camera. I have two request for firmware improvements.

1 Add “Lock four way controller” to “Wheel Lock” menu” . It’s too easy to accidentally move focus point.

2 Ability to lock exposure and focus separately.

Thanks, Dan

The SL's firmware was just updated to include joystick lock. I'll be making that update, without doubt.

 

Let's hope the CL's firmware is right behind.

Not a request as such.  Having just bought my CL (I knew I'd be buying a Fuji X-E3 or TL2 when I left the house that morning, but the CL just astounded me!), can someone confirm there haven't been any firmware upgrades yet.  I see lots of suggestions, but can't find anything substantive.  So, am I OK on 1.0?

 

thanks

You're OK with 1.0.  There have been  rumblings that new CL firmware was about to improve a few things commonly complained about (like the assignment of the wheels in each mode) but if this is being done it hasn't surfaced yet.  Locking and power conservation improvements that recently appeared in the SL's firmware would also apply to the CL, but those (in the SL) are more controversial.  Not everyone loves them.  Still it is reasonable to assume that the two L-mount cameras would see upgrades on a similar schedule.
