Advertisement Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Hi Chuck Albertson, Take a look here M10 new Firmware, finally. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
robsonj Posted January 28, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 28, 2021 Here today it seems! This is great as it will allow you to see the corrected image at the time of shoot, instead of getting home, applying the correction then realizing you should have taken a couple of steps back!

01maciel Posted January 28, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Just checked the web site for update and .. yes, there is the M10-2.20.48.38-Customer.FW for Leica M10 owners. I cannot find any release notes. So, what in there? Edited January 28, 2021 by 01maciel Typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsonj Posted January 28, 2021 Share #5 Posted January 28, 2021 I updated my M10-R. Perspective control is the obvious difference on the M10-R and M10s with a level gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try the new FW this weekend. Let's see and have a tea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if there is anything else different, maybe just bug fixes, new lens support (50 f/1.2?) maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edax Posted January 28, 2021 Share #8 Posted January 28, 2021 The document for the new M10-P/M10-R/M10-M firmware mentions new lens profiles, but not which ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted January 28, 2021 Share #11 Posted January 28, 2021 vor 59 Minuten schrieb 01maciel: yes, very likely. May be, but you cannot see the difference in the menu (so you have to buy the lens to find out...). The profile for the original 50 f/1.2 11820 has always been there and still is. The new version should have a 6-bit-code and therefore have no special profile like all other lenses which only come coded. I compared the menues of the new firmware with the former one: no differences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted January 28, 2021 Share #12 Posted January 28, 2021 Btw: M10-P users should wait until they upgrade. there seems to be a serious glitch in the files: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would vote for faster response after turning on the camera, and better user profiles management. What about chance to see total actuations?

I should have checked before blabbing away. There seems to be a new perspective control feature. An odd addition for a camera that's not really poplar for professional architectural photography. - the widest prime lens is a 21. and the 16-21 tri elmar is pretty dated now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Prime Posted January 28, 2021 Share #19 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) perspective ‘keystone’ correction is valid with any lens on any subject, it just happens to be most obvious on architecture but I guess if you are retentive about such things you can use it more generally.

There is also a video (in german) which is a good demo. Is really quite impressive. https://en.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/Leica-M10-R/Technical-Insights Edited January 28, 2021 by Sjz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
