I have been waiting for the update since I bought Q2M (~2 months ago) and discovered white pixels cluster issue, hoping the firmware update would fix it. March has passed, April has almost gone, too... No firmware updates. Alas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly it is not on their download page: https://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-Q/Leica-Q2-Monochrom/Downloads I am waiting until it appears, like the Q2's 3.1 update.

alksv Posted April 27, 2021 Share #10 Posted April 27, 2021 It is listed in the support section along with instructions and change log PDFs, not sure why they haven’t updated the Q2M landing site but there’s no real point in waiting for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the pointer. I installed it. It fixed the hot/dead pixels issue at higher ISO :). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news. They have also added a manual pixel mapping. Good addition. Unfortunately, the Zoom/Lock button still has a very limited list of options to assign. Would be great to map this button to any function you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can assign BBF to the Zoom/Lock button, which is great. However, having a freedom to assign any function to this button would be very beneficial! Don't understand why Leica didn't do it in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, standard BBF consists of triggering focus only with rear button and removing focusing from shutter. With Q2's implementation, focusing reverts to shutter after each shot. I am glad that the current subset of BBF is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad that the current subset of BBF is possible. Thanks, SrMi. My Q2M locks AF and AE combined ( AF-L + AE-L) without refocusing when a shutter release button is half-pressed. We may talk about different things here, though. From your post it looks like BBF is not fully implemented in Q2M, as with a proper BBF implementation, shutter release button should never trigger focus (even after each shot), as soon as the focusing mechanism has been decoupled from it.
