ahl Posted August 25, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have just taken delivery of my M8 which is loaded with 1.106 version of the firmware. Should I upgrade to version 1.107? Is there much difference or should I leave well alone if everything works OK? I have been reading the forum for many months and it has helped me greatly, so many thanks to the regular contributors who have kindly shared their experience and solutions.

marknorton Posted August 25, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 25, 2007 1.106 was never released as a field upgrade, it must have been a version they used in the factory for a time. Impossible to know then what the differences are between 1.106 and 1.107. 1.107 got off to a bad start and was withdrawn with a couple of hours and later replaced. I'd upgrade to 1.107 if I were you. M8 firmware is still a work in progress and we're still looking for things like improved AWB, improved JPEG rendering plus there are still odd things with the SD card support which crop up from time to time, not to mention scrolling and display problems, among others. Does suggest your camera was made in early July (at a guess). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted August 25, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 25, 2007 Never heard of 1.106 so it must be something that went through the factory very quickly or not supposed to be in that body. i would update it as just a matter of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahl Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted August 27, 2007 Thank you all. I will update as suggested. New M8 has no problems . File saving on this one very fast indeed and rangefinder spot on. Alain Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
