Leica Fotos App - does it work with M10 ?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone here got both the Leica M app and the Fotos app on their iPhone? In my case the former works for my M10, but the latter will not as the Scan QR function in the Fotos app does not work. The camera, with the latest software produces a QR code, but the code cannot be scanned. Has anyone got both apps working together?

Can you tell me if the Foto App stores the images in the IOS Photo App as well.

I have both, Leica Fotos (1.0.0) and Leica M (1.1.2), in working order on my IOS 12.0.1 devices.

My M10 is running 2.6.5.0 firmware.

 

Thanks,

Ken

May I ask where you guys got the 2.6.5 firmware? When I go to Leica USA for the M10, it says the latest firmware is 2.4.5... http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/Leica-M10/Downloads

Needless to say, I spent half an hour fiddling around with the Fotos app and firmware updates before I realized it would not work. Not the most impressive rollout, from my perspective.

Found it. I should note in the time that I was able to find the latest Leica firmware on their own website, I was able to download, install, connect and start browsing photos using Mark II's wifi app that he wrote to connect the M10 to a computer. Pretty cool app. Hopefully the Fotos app is as straightforward once it is installed!

Maybe some confusion is caused by not selecting the right firmware - there's M10, M10-P & M10-D which are all different updates containing a different QR code for each camera type. For those having difficulties connecting, please double-check that you've downloaded the correct firmware.

When turning the Fotos app on on your phone, you're asked to select camera type - Leica M - then there is a sub-menu where you select either M10, M10-P or M10-D. Select your camera then the 'scan QR code' screen appears

This morning I’ve installed it. It did not work in first instance. But, then I remembered that LV is disabled in my settings for the simple reason that I do  ot like it. Enabling LV was the solution....

Does anybody know what the aperture icon is suppose to do in the M app? The one between the camera icon and the magnifying glass icon.

I'm assuming the new Fotos app is meant to replace the older app, so there's no need to keep both, correct?

I have been at a Leica event last Saturday and that is exactly what they told me. I have asked that question as mine does not work any more. As a consequence I have deleted the old app in the meantime and just keep the new one.

Thanks. I connected my M10 to the new app and all is good.
