I think we should all send him a big thank you notes for sharing his notes with the public . He did not mention anything about the 2.1 firmware on the SL2-S though 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojay Posted September 22, 2021 Share #145 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Very happy to have to update.. still for me it needs some testing before I start celebrating improved AF.. so far more impressed by the highlight weighted metering. From my very quick attempts at tracking (dog, chickens, sheep) nice to see less pulsing, from simply reviewing results on camera, not noticing any huge increase in well locked on images, happy to see comments so far, seems some have found improvements very quickly. Hoping for the best obviously. Edited September 22, 2021 by Boojay 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for the best obviously. Good to know about your "less pulsing" finding. One of my first questions. Thank you. However, as I posted, even with the pulsing while in AFC mode in the previous firmware version, I and others found very accurate hit rate while editing in the images in post. Albeit the pulsing in the EVF doesn't give immediate confidence. Now comes the work! I was just getting up to speed with the SL2 overall. Ready and willing to spend the next several days checking out new features and any improvements. Edited September 22, 2021 by LBJ2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, never considered the pulsing to have an actual impact on amount of keepers.. the camera has either locked on or not, just can be distracting (irritating), I have got used to it but it's nice to see the improvement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I am finding, the pulsing in AFC is the DFD action = a continuous loop of high speed AF confirmation. See my post here with my theory and illustration . In my mind is the reason for the very high accuracy I am seeing. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1718668/1#15714673 Edited September 22, 2021 by LBJ2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardC Posted September 22, 2021 Share #152 Posted September 22, 2021 Just now, Photoworks said: you are still in need of a battery grip and or USB power brick What lens is that, and how much charge was there in the camera? We already know that the battery issue will never be fully resolved with EOS lenses, given that they can't communicate their power requirements. We also know that the warning is normal (and informative) if the battery is actually low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGerman Posted September 22, 2021 Share #155 Posted September 22, 2021 VERY happy so far with my initial testing. It may just be placebo, but AF speed and accuracy seems greatly improved and I'll dig into some of the new features some more this week. Thanks to Leica for coming through! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No solution! As I said, I doubt we will see a full solution with EF lenses. They don't communicate power draw like L-Mount lenses do. You should ask Sigma about their own EF lenses, maybe they can do something in the adapter firmware. I doubt they will do anything about the Canon-brand lenses, since they don't officially support those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are any changes to improve EF, but the cinema lenses don't have any electronic contacts and I get same error Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted September 23, 2021 Share #160 Posted September 23, 2021 Just a summary of experience. FW 3.0 updated faultlessly on two SL2 bodies. 24-90 / 90-280 - no FW update (both 2.1) APO 35/75 both updated automatically to 2.1 when attached to the camera and camera powered on. Video updates of no interest to me currently - however, I look forward to testing improvements in AF capability in different modes when I have time. Thank you Leica for pulling all of this together. Chapeau! 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
