Today Leica released the firmware update v 2.4.5.0 for the Leica M10 - it brings an improved Auto ISO option, a revised Delete dialog and more.
 
Of course we thank our firmware beta testers for their support!

All Improvements at a glance

  • Optimisation of the delete menu: The graphic user interface for the deletion of pictures has been revised.
  • Longer exposure times: Exposure times of up to four minutes are now possible at base ISO.
  • New continuous shooting mode with lower frame rate: An additional continuous shooting mode is now available (Continuous Low Speed, three frames per second).
  • ‘Load profile’ is now available in the favourites menu.
  • Aperture value in EXIF data: The camera compares the brightness measured through the lens with the measured ambient brightness to estimate the aperture used. This value is then written to the EXIF data. In some cases, the interpretation of the subject or scene may lead to incorrect estimation of the aperture value, for instance when shooting subjects or scenes with high contrast and black or white objects.
  • LED deactivation: The red LED on the back of the camera can now be deactivated in the control elements menu.
  • Auto-ISO setting: Auto-ISO for base ISO is set to the default value of ISO 200 to optimise dynamic range.

Installation instructions

  • Download the new firmware file to your computer.
  • Prepare the SD card for installation:
    • Please make sure that the card contains at least 200 MB of free disk space.
    • It is recommended to format the card inside the camera before continuing.
    • Copy the firmware file to the root directory of the SD card.
    • Eject the SD card properly from your computer.
  • Insert the SD card into the camera and switch the camera on.
  • Go to Main Menu / Camera Information / Camera Firmware
  • Press “Yes” to confirm and start the process;
    • You may confirm to save your current profiles to the SD card before proceeding with the update.
    • Wait until the update installation is completed: Message "Update successful. Camera will restart"
    • Please load your last saved profiles from the SD card after the first startup.
  • The update process is complete.

That went smoothly. Some worthwhile changes. Thank you Leica.

 

To show "Load Profile" in the Favourites menu, have of course to change all Profiles to reflect this which was most tedious part - but heck, nice to have!

There are some minor changes unmentioned in the sheet for Firmware 2.4.5.0:

 

  • Exposure compensation is indicated with the right values in replay (not always -2 as before)
  • The pre-asph 1:1,435mm Summilux (11869/11870/11860) is again in the manual list for lens detection (was left out by the M10 before)
  • When you use the Macro-Adapter-M you can now choose an appropriate lens - e.g. the 4/90 Macro-Elmar - manually from the list (before even though the adapter is coded you only got  indicated "uncoded" or even "2.8/28mm").
  • The little red LED, which showed in the viewfinder with manual exposure mode and had no function, has disappered

I assume there’s still no horizon / level/tilt which I use constantly on the M240 ?

 

:huh: 

 

However, process went  smoothly. Takes 8-10minutes with final segment on progress bar very slow.

I just did the upgrade to the new firmware, followed instructions, restarted camera etc. This lens is still not listed in my lens detection menu for Leica M lenses! Strange.

 

 That is strange. Did you check if you really are on 2.4.5.0?

 

The "old" 35mm Summilux is in the list:

Wouw. Excellent update. And now LV framerate is 60fps. no lag, much details. Perfect!

 

And now continuous shooting mode with lower frame rate is better than single shoot mode because you can full push (almost) to release button if you want single shoot in this mode.

Thank you, Leica, for the firmware improvements. Nonetheless, I'm very disappointed that the spirit level hasn't been brought back with this update, especially since it's been 1.5 years since the M10 was delivered.

 I am very pleased they haven't corrupted by far the best digital Rangefinder, stress Rangefinder. camera to date with gimmicks. I don't think it was left out by oversight.
