Advertisement Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Hi rim_light, Take a look here Leica SL2 Firmware 2.0: 187 MP Multishot Mode. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Interestingly it crops the image - is that like it is suppose to work? OK, it's just the embedded JPG in the DNG that's crops the image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted June 19, 2020 Share #43 Posted June 19, 2020 By the way, I should also say I had no problem with user profiles. I used a newly formatted sd card with only the firmware update. It asked me if I wanted to export the profiles, which I did (I had already done it and put it on my desktop in case of a failure), and when I restarted the camera after the update, I was able to import them from the SD card with no troubles. It was also in slot 1, where it is supposed to be... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted June 19, 2020 Share #44 Posted June 19, 2020 The camera did not ask me to import the profiles, but I followed the installation instructions and restored the old settings from the saved data. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that for me it may be an occasionally useful feature, but it is not a substitute for a higher resolution camera (though I am not sure anyone ever claimed it was). Also finding some odd color anomalies around blown out highlights...found this on my second shot. Wish they would have asked me to beta test... same here, it gets especially distracting when the highlight section is in an out of focus area like here (left is the high-res shot). I don't hink it has anything to do with the electronic shutter that is used. Right is the 47mp dng from the same shot that obviously also used the e-shutter. Welcome, dear visitor!

tom0511 Posted June 19, 2020 Share #46 Posted June 19, 2020 I wish they had fixed battery issues instead of adding a super dooper high resolution mode which noboy really needs in real life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aktenschrank Posted June 19, 2020 Share #48 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Quick addition to my previous comment about artefacting. After some experiments I can definitely say that switching motion correction off for high-res shooting does reduce the artefacts considerably. Obviously just a quick test, but might be worth exploring for situations where motion correction is not necessary... Image on the left is with motion correction on, on the right with it switched off.

Seems that it is only fixing some issues, when attaching a Sigma EF lens. Strangely I have found absolutely no problem with the MC 21 adapter and the Panasonic S series cameras, seems they have no problem using the Adapter with other EF lenses.

ZHNL Posted June 19, 2020 Share #52 Posted June 19, 2020 The biggest limitation for me use high resolution is not artificial effect or tripod use but 1s limitation. This is very easy to hit in field with ND filter or polarizer for landscape shooting. This is pretty much the same limitation as Panasonic S1. I guess the time limit comes from IBIS setting. the biggest gain for this mode is also not just resolution but file have almost 1 to 1.5 stop DR improvement compare to regular mode. I hope the firmware can fixing some sigma L lens have no AE lock with half press shutter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new "chip naming" seems to matter. Once I formatted a chip in the camera and added the new firmware file to it, things have started up properly. The formatted chip that I used for the update did not save my settings, even though I asked it to, and when I put back the chip with which I had been shooting, my user profiles seem to have been lost. So I'll have to set up and save them again. It's putting files into the L100 directory, regardless of what I was doing before on the chip or the previous chip. It also didn't seem to save my user profiles. I used Fotos to get the time and date input correctly. I erased the camera from Fotos and paired it again. Connection with one empty chip was almost instantaneous. Date and time transferred correctly. But cleaning out records of file number and profiles is bad. We went through this sort of firmware upgrade side effect, losing track of the file numbers, with the SL[601], but this is even worse. Using the old chip, I uploaded my old profile, but only some things uploaded. Have to reset copyright info, the leading character of the file names. And the sequencing is lost. All will be forgiven eventually, as long as there are improvements, HiRes, and biugfixes... But you wish Leica could learn these things. Hi, Scott. Thanks so much for your detailed feedback on the issues you're having with the new Leica SL2 FW update. I know that your observations will be instructive to those lucky few among us that managed to snag an SL2 prior to the pandemic bringing the global supply chain to a virtual halt. Having said all that, Scott, you frequently use the word "chip" in your post, by which I can only presume that you actually mean "SD card?" I'm genuinely only trying to offer constructive insight and attain clarity by suggesting that when discussing technical details (as we are), precision and accuracy are very important if we're to avoid increasing rather than decreasing confusion and ambiguity. Myself, I had to carefully re-read several key passages in your post on order to feel somewhat confident that by "chip" you were actually intending to refer to your SD card. Again, Scott, thanks for your valuable report on your experience with the new FW update, and please accept my feedback in the purely constructive and clarity-enhancing spirit in which it is most certainly intended. Kind regards... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted June 19, 2020 Share #57 Posted June 19, 2020 FWIW, the Leica site download instructions provide steps for saving settings and for reinstating profiles. I haven’t yet installed this FW, but it appears very straightforward. Despite that, I always keep a brief written cheat sheet (for digital cameras) listing all my preferred settings, once dialed in, just in case they get lost through a trip to Customer Service, an electronic failure, etc. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted June 20, 2020 Share #58 Posted June 20, 2020 The high-res mode exposes weaknesses in some lenses. However, Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH is really good :-). Processing those 1Gb files (TIFF) takes really long :-(. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted June 20, 2020 Share #60 Posted June 20, 2020 16 hours ago, erudolph said: Scott, file numbering is reset even though the original SL2 manual says it can be saved? Fair question. I was using a chip which was third or fourth to be used with this camera. It contained folder 102 L and 103 L with the most recent shots stored in folder 103. It got that way because when earlier chips filled up, I formatted a new one in the camera (probably in the #2 slot to keep it ready for use), and that's what Leica does. Each time I have switched to a chip formatted this way, the numbers continue to increase, so there is no duplication, But the promise in the manual (about page 186) that after a formatting or upgrade of firmware the software will look for the highest file number has a bug. If there is no 100 Leica folder, it creates one and starts there. This is a bug. It's an old bug. It's a bug that many of us have told Leica about in the past. They don't seem to think it is important. There is a workaround. You ask for file renumbering in the camera settings meny. Multiple times. At first it creates low numbered folders, which you ignore. When finally you reach the folders in use, it jumps to a new, higher folder number and starts you at number 001 in that folder. Sigh! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
