Advertisement Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Hi kismetsky, Take a look here Firmware Update 3.1. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Chris O Posted February 1, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2019 looks like mostly updates to wireless functionality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Pierro Posted February 1, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Firmware is not recognized by the cam in the root folder of the sd card - anyone else got this problem? EDIT: The German manual did not mention that it is required to hold the video button while turning the camera on - did work now.

Krusty Posted February 1, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2019 You have to press the Video-Button and then switch on the power 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3996 Posted February 1, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2019 It's a welcome update to streamline the mobile remote use... that I remotely use. My finger already adjusted to the changes in fw3.0 so I'm indifferent to whether they "fixed" it or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krusty Posted February 1, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 1, 2019 Any other hidden features in that firmware? I see that the auto iso bug is still not fixed... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lyka Posted February 2, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 2, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) My download gave me files "Q116_31_.quf" (zero bytes) and "Q116_31_.quf.part" (98 KBytes). Which goes on the SD card? Both? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike3996 Posted February 2, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 2, 2019 Let's be careful out there, updating cameras. If you don't absolutely know what you're doing, you shouldn't probably update the firmware yourself. There's always a risk of bricking the camera, even if you do know your stuff.

The download either failed or you did not give it enough time to finish. In the later case if you looked at your download directory you would see the file being built as a slightly different name until it completed.

Patience I first tried saving it directly to a memory card in my MacBook but it failed at around 25k, then I tried again saving it to the desktop and it finished at a little over 52mb which I copied to the card and performed the upgrade....so far all seems well.

You can tell the download didn't finish because you know your stuff; not everyone is fluent with computers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lius86 Posted February 3, 2019 Share #16 Posted February 3, 2019 Installed the update yesterday on my Q and the camera got stuck/crashed 3 times in 24 hours. (never happened before). First time which happened I was trying the new function (fn on the previews), pressed the WLAN and the screen went all purple/pixelated camera led flashing red and i had to remove the battery as it was not turning off even after 5 minutes of waiting. Second time: shooting in manual focus, I took a picture and got stuck while saving it, same thing had to remove the battery. Third time: again trying to connect with the app, camera freezes after pressing WLAN. The app on the phone is updated, used original leica batteries and a good SD card (almost new). Did this happen only to me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_HNL Posted February 3, 2019 Share #17 Posted February 3, 2019 I'm experiencing the same getting stuck problem with WLAN when I select it using the function button or when opening it from the Menu. This never happened before the update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, someone will be able to answer your question about installing the previous firmware. I'm also hoping that Leica will do an update of the firmware.

I'm not loading it to the camera, however, because the WiFi improvements are sounding sketchy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
