Some nice results so far.  Leica says that they use the electronic shutter only and that means that they can shoot as fast as the chip can complete and stabilize its half-pixel move.  The bulk of the delay is probably processing time.  Here's how to find out -- set up an old fashioned analog stop watch (simulated of course) on a screen.  Point a camera that can focus close on it start the stop watch and see how far the second hand moves in the course of taking the eight shots.  I'll give it a try.  Have to find the right stop watch first.  Olymp;us claims that now you can take a multi-image hi res shot handheld on their latest M4/3 cameras.  I would bet that is how they do it as well, using electronic shutter.

I bitched about exactly the same piece of idiotic error over-messaging in the other new firmware thread.  You can get around it, but it makes for unnatural handling. 

Hi am new to Leica  and have tried multi shot but can’t find the files that I shot .do you know what settings I need and do the files come up as 8 dng or one file thanks again paul

When you take a multishot high res picture there are two DNG files created.  The first is the 8 shot combination, with about 4 times the size.  The second DNG file is a single exposure at normal resolution.  It's number is one higher than the multi-res shot. Look for them in Finder (on a mac) or whatever lets you find stuff, and you will see which is which from their sizes.
