Advertisement Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Hi Leon_B., Take a look here Firmware Updates for Leica Q2 (v.4.0) and Q2 Monochrom (v.2.0). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
M11 for me Posted May 5, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) I wonder how the Geotagging works. I did not update to 4.0 but withe the actual firmware I do not manage to put GPS Tag into the Exif. Cannsomeone explain? And I see no way how I could uodate via Fotos . . .

M11 for me Posted May 5, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 5, 2022 Nothing works actually: The EVF is black and on the screen I am asked to stopp Wi-Fi. You see that I never used fitos and I wonder why I should. I would like to use gos tagging but there is now way that it works with 3.1.1. I am no playing around the last hour or so. I might habe uodated the amera with the app. But no way to find this either. That seems to be too much of a mess. I have enough now. othing works. I am not willing to make a 3cday course.

Looks very good. Not all the features I thought would come. But as far as I can tell one thing is for sure. The connection to Leica Fotos worked 3 out of 5 times and it went as fast as 45s,47s,50s seconds. Which is ok. I can live with this speed. I will See how the app behaves while shooting .... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancook Posted May 5, 2022 Share #8 Posted May 5, 2022 For those interested in what iDR is, but can't be bothered to go clicking.. JPG only shadow lift. Welcome, dear visitor!

matted Posted May 5, 2022 Share #9 Posted May 5, 2022 As I look a little closer at that video format grid from the release notes, I realize that they probably just copied the table from an SL2(s) spreadsheet; the Q2 obviously does not have an HDMI output, nor does it have an APS-C (~super 35mm) crop mode for video, which is actually too bad. I'm going to submit a feature request via Fotos app for L-log and APS-C crop. You never know! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Looks like it does! I see it as an option in all of the FHD/UHD/C4K categories, both .mp4 and .mov I just shot some C4K All-I test footage and it looks pretty good. Perhaps later I will shoot some side by side with the SL2-S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Looks like it does!

NICOFRANCA Posted May 5, 2022 Share #12 Posted May 5, 2022 My Sony and Ricoh have highlight metering and use it a lot. All cameras should have this! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acg69 Posted May 5, 2022 Share #13 Posted May 5, 2022 Great. None of the biggies were addressed imho. Also, the bug about image numbering is still alive and kicking, thank you very much... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially useful for Monochrom cameras where there is nothing to recover in overexposed highlights. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimleicam3 Posted May 5, 2022 Share #16 Posted May 5, 2022 I downloaded the firmware to my new iMac and I am unable to open it to save to a card. It claims that I don't have an application to open it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M11 for me Posted May 5, 2022 Share #19 Posted May 5, 2022 Did someone update by using the fotos app? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried but could not figure out how... perhaps they added the ability for future firmware updates to happen via Fotos? Or maybe it requires you to sign in with a Leica account? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
