paul.bridges.3388 Posted April 4, 2019 Share #21 Posted April 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) iOS downloaded from UK App Store. At first I thought it still wasn’t updated....but Q2 is hidden as a drop down from the Q camera option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Hi paul.bridges.3388, Take a look here Leica FOTOS. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
PhD69 Posted April 4, 2019 Share #22 Posted April 4, 2019 Hello, Leica Fotos has been updated and supports Q2 now. Philippe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted April 4, 2019 Share #23 Posted April 4, 2019 Just as I said. Update is available since yesterday. But Leica has chosen to be prudent and roll out a progressive update. So you have to update manually. Or wait a few days to get your turn in automatic update scheme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4peterse Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share #24 Posted April 4, 2019 Deleting the app and downloading again dis the trick. App Store says, available since yesterday. Strange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Lover 88 Posted April 4, 2019 Share #25 Posted April 4, 2019 Anyone was able to tag GPS data from the App to the Q2? I see the satellite picture once Bluetooth connected but its always greyed out. Plus, I discovered the app won't automatically connect via Bluetooth when the camera turns on. So it will be useless for the purpose of tagging GPS data automatically (if I can get it to work). Anyone have better luck with the Geotagging?

scott kirkpatrick Posted April 4, 2019 Share #26 Posted April 4, 2019 I take it you are using a Q or Q2, which is the only model with both Bluetooth and WiFi? This is strange. I thought the idea of the latest upgrade was to permit lower power connections. I've tested the new release on my M10-D, but can't see any new function or access to new controls. It may be a bit faster in pulling up the thumbnails of files on the SD card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4peterse Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share #28 Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Remote control is a joke and it is as disappointing as I have anticipated. You can change some settings, but it seems to activate AF, even if the lens is in MF mode. Am I missing something?

SrMi Posted April 4, 2019 Share #29 Posted April 4, 2019 iOS, Leica Fotos 1.2.0 The Bluetooth connection to Q2 is established quickly, and a GPS icon is shown, but no GPS data is being transferred. I do not see Leica Fotos app in the list of apps that use Location Services? Maybe a bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfunnell Posted April 5, 2019 Share #30 Posted April 5, 2019 I am having diffculty getting the GPS info in the metadata. The camera icons for both Bluetooth and GPS appear in the right hand bottom corner however the metadata doesn't have any GPS data recorded? Can anyone point me to some more thorough instructions on how to use the App ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrMi Posted April 5, 2019 Share #32 Posted April 5, 2019 Just got an email from Leica that they are still working on the GPS functionality and it will be available at a later date. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfunnell Posted April 5, 2019 Share #33 Posted April 5, 2019 Thanks for the upate hopefully we don't have to wait too long . Hopefully the Bluetooth won't use the camera battery as much as the WIFI does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achim63 Posted April 5, 2019 Share #35 Posted April 5, 2019 Thank you – I tried yesterday evening and wondered as well why there's no GPS data showing up in Apple Fotos and LRCC. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. Frankly, I didn't expect to get a product that is not yet fully ready as advertised when I bought the Q2. B.t.w. the app quits/crashes every time I leave the control area (with the live view from the camera). Feeling like a beta-tester right now. Again, not the quality I expect from Leica.

Really disppointed by the quality of Camera, Firmware and App. I assume that's what happens if you buy "cheap" (i.e. not "M"). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfunnell Posted April 5, 2019 Share #37 Posted April 5, 2019 Yes it certainly is disapointing and not up to Leica standards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitford Posted April 5, 2019 Share #38 Posted April 5, 2019 Updated my app and it connected to the camera simply and quickly. Glad they got it working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheo Posted April 5, 2019 Share #39 Posted April 5, 2019 I’ve been trying to use this function with my Q2 and both my iPhone XS and iPad Pro 3rd gen. It takes over 5 minutes to transfer 4 DNGs. This function is simply not ready yet. For reference on my Sony A7iii a whole 64 gb card can be transferred in about the same time. Leica has the best optics but their programmers need work.

T.J. Posted April 6, 2019 Share #40 Posted April 6, 2019 I'm loving my Q2, my first Leica, the FOTOS app - not so much. It has bricked my camera a couple of times requiring the removal of my battery to reset. GPS does not seem to be working. Not sure what the low power Bluetooth is doing. App is very slow. Not sure why Leica released it with all of the problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
