Advertisement Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Hi lct, Take a look here Firmware version 4 available for CL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Just kidding but i must be too old or stupid to use those smartphone cameras. Do you know if it is possible to revert to the previous firmware? BEFORE taking pictures, as with time-consuming layered menus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted August 21, 2020 Share #85 Posted August 21, 2020 I would'nt dare... First time i regret a firmware update in 15+ years. I should have known better. They are so proud to find new gimmicks that they don't even think some people may wish to disable them... I use mostly profiles fortunately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did the same (but I also left the Electronic Shutter option in the Favourites menu). I like the new interface. Can't see any disadvantage and the camera looks fresh again 🙂 I guess this unexpected firmware update is Leica's attempt to keep us happy while waiting a bit longer for the CL2. Fine with me.

ynp Posted August 22, 2020 Share #87 Posted August 22, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Found that the new firmware allows for the Flash Controller to be used with the Nissin MG10 flashes. Maybe my previous FW was older than I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves a lot of menu work. I think it is a vast improvement. The rest are just minor tweaks and gimmicks. I agree, it is a vastly improved camera now with Firmware 4, thanks Leica, though its a pity it took three years. Don 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see any disadvantage and the camera looks fresh again 🙂 I guess this unexpected firmware update is Leica's attempt to keep us happy while waiting a bit longer for the CL2. Fine with me. I've also added Electronic Shutter to my Favourites, and Focus Assist. I would still rather not have the Favourites menu (now we have four places to find things: physical buttons/dials, Status Screen, Favourites and Menus. Not quite Das Wesentliche, IMO. If we could use the FN button (plus the one more missing button that the CL has always needed) for A/B toggle actions that would eliminate my need for a Favourites screen e.g. - Electronic shutter on/off - Manual focus on/off - Face Detect/Spot (one of my most common actions, always needed in the heat of the moment). But assigning toggle actions to buttons has been missing since the SL, where I would also want them, and which already has enough buttons. I wonder if there is something fundamental in the firmware that stops this option, though I don't see how it could. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcolinger Posted August 22, 2020 Share #91 Posted August 22, 2020 I am really happy with the new firmware. Mainly because I have also the SL2 and will now have the same menu approach. One, perhaps stupid, question : wouldn’t it have been possible to have also the GPS function like the SL2 ? I know, most of the time it doesn’t work but I still hope that Leica will be able (!?!?) to correct this problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 22, 2020 Share #92 Posted August 22, 2020 There are a number of quite effective phone apps like GPS4cam. I guess that there was. no space left for the hardware in the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it's likely a matter of my always using M and R lenses, but the way I have my camera setup I only very very rarely need to touch any menus at all. Aperture on the lens, focus on the lens, either EV comp or shutter speed on the left dial, focus mag on the right dial, ISO on right button, self timer on FN button. That's all I use 99% of the time.

G Well, you won't be going into the menu very often anyway, so it should make little difference to you. However should you want to make a setting change during shooting, it is a time and effort saver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted August 22, 2020 Share #96 Posted August 22, 2020 I'm not sure why everyone is always mentioning "the CL2". Is it so necessary that a newer model must be coming soon for you? Are you not happy with the CL as it is? I was pretty happy with the CL just as it was when I bought it; all the fw updates since then have done nothing but add value to my original delight with the camera. There's very little I'm looking for in any kind of upgrade beyond the notion of wanting a dedicated port for a wired remote release. G 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding I spend more time trying to figure out the icons and what function they're indicating than I do just tapping the menu button to the right menu and making the setting. And that half the icons on the screen I have no use for whatever. The same is true of the touch screen interface on my Hasselblad 907x, but that's editable. I have it down to just four function icons now: All the other functions I find it easier to go to the master menu and do what I need to do.

jaapv Posted August 22, 2020 Share #100 Posted August 22, 2020 I am seriously trying to understand which icon you have to figure out, given that most of them are alphanumeric and they are identical to the ones that you have in the EVF info anyway...
