Hi all,

From reading the v2.0 firmware thread it seems that the right wheel button no-longer switches the ISO like it did in the previous firmware when in manual focus mode. 

I notice in the button customisation menu it still behaves as though the button can be assigned a custom function, and ISO is selectable in the menu, but my guess is that in the new version they're removed that option and it now only acts as zoom for manual focusing. 

Has anyone found a solution? There is no updated manual to read, and going on the latest available online manual for the Q2 the thumbwheel button should still be customisable. Not sure if it's a bug (unlikely) or just how the new firmware is... ?

You are correct. Leica has disabled the custom functions in order to enable continuous magnification when in manual mode. I love the new feature, but I would have implemented it with the set button or the 4-way controller and not have disabled the Thumb Button custom settings.  Hopefully they’ll see it is better to implement in a different way in the future. I’ve added the custom functions I have on the Thumb Button to the Fn button.

Yep, I figured this must have been the case, what a shame. I think I'm one of the rare few that prefers a physical ISO dial, I change it constantly but really dislike Auto-ISO for the type of shooting I do with the Leica. 

Hopefully in the next update they will make it customisable again.
