DNG writing speed improved The DNG and DNG+JPEG writing speed is now improved by the factor 2x. Deleting user profiles The user now can delete individual/single user profiles. Touch AF + Release Touch AF + Release is now implemented and works in all AF modes. Status screen for photo and video implemented Complete overview of the preferred settings, easy access and operation by touch. The video mode can be deactivated or activated via the status screen. Exposure parameters for video Extended opportunities for capturing video files including the ability to switch between PASM by aperture- and shutter speed dial. Auto ISO behavior The auto-ISO behavior was changed and the priority is now set to "correct exposure". Manual Focus behavior In MF mode the preselected AF frame will appear and can be used to start the magnification, the frame can be moved by using the cursor keys. In AF-Multi: the magnification will start from the center and the last position is saved until the camera is switched off Face Detection behavior If the face detection is not successful, the AF-Mode now switches to AF field instead of AF multi field. Leica FOTOS transfer speed Downloading photos from the Leica Q2 to Leica FOTOS is now up to 50% faster. (The Leica Q2 needs to be paired again with Leica FOTOS after this firmware update) Variable EVF frame rate A menu was added to choose between 60fps or 120 fps. For fast moving subjects set 120 fps for a more fluid display of movement (with lower resolution) or choose 60 fps for full resolution. AF-L / AE - added to Zoom button The AF and AE lock function allows you to lock your focus or exposure settings separately as you recompose your shot. Improvement of Tracking AF Precision and overall performance of Tracking AF is improved. Touch in EVF Touch functionality during EVF mode is now available. Firmware update process Copy the firmware file onto a SD Memory Card in its top level folder. Make sure to turn off the power switch on the camera. Insert the fully charged battery to the body. If the battery is not fully charged, the update process screen will not appear. Insert the SD Memory Card into the camera. Choose MENU / Main Menu / Camera Information / Firmware Press “Start Update” and confirm the start process. The camera will guide you through the backup process of your personal settings. Wait until this process is finished. Restart your camera; do not remove the SD card. Confirm the upload of your personal settings from the SD card. CAUTION: Please do not turn off your camera, or do not remove the SD Memory Card, do not remove the lens while updating your camera's firmware. DOING SO CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA! And if the camera was accidentally turned off, what can I do now? There is an error message now that says NO FIRMWARE CAN BE FOUND ON THE CARD - even though it IS on the card.

jaapv Posted May 6, 2020 Share #263 Posted May 6, 2020 Format the card, download the firmware to the card again and retry. If you are lucky, the install flag is on the card and not in the camera firmware. If not, call Leica customer service for advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try your suggestions though with a new card. Much appreciate the quick response. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted May 7, 2020 Share #265 Posted May 7, 2020 The new firmware must be at the root level on the SD card to be recognized by the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebas_ Posted June 21, 2020 Share #267 Posted June 21, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just thinking about getting a Q2 as a b-cam to my SL2. Curious about the video possibilities with the new firmware. Is 10bit 422 in C4k 24 FPS now possible? Can the Q2 shoot in L-Log? thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be in the menu somewhere. This was how I used my Q exclusively and sorely miss it on the Q2. no a bad idea, but inaccessible with the thumb rest in place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
