Firmware Updates for Leica Q2 (v.4.1) and Q2 Monochrom (v.2.1)

Now that the firmware is out, there are some things I still miss. 

What is the feature that we could have that would benefit the photography in future? 

1. IU compared the sl2s with the q2 today and one feature that should not be that hard to implement is: 

pls let me use the camera interface while the app is open! I want to shoot and see the image wenn its done. I want to use it in low and high angle

and see what I do and feel the trigger. For me this is very important. The app makes no sense to me if this is not activated. 

And it can be done > the sl2s has exactly this feature and I love it. 

2. Eye detection 

I do a lot of portraits with this camera and I would help me a lot. 

I mostly do it in manual, but when I need that automation because I am focusing in talking to the person I shoot 

I would like to see that the eyes are sharp or sharper than with face detection. Even seeing that the opposite happens is helpful. 

3. Multishot by using the OIS. 

It would be great if we could have this feature. I know that I can do this in post, but having the ability to do it with this little camera 

would be absolutely mind-blowing. And its there, we have the processor and the automation. > we only need people that ask for it. 

4. Zoom/Lock Button : pls make it a FN button and let me e.g. change the thumbwheel from aperture > exposure control 

why? 

I shoot mostly in M and with Auto ISO. And if so then you run into problems when your lights to high or to low. 

You can't access the time over 1/2000 or lower than 1s. You need to change the Wheel Assignment. And I would like to be able to 

switch this with just hitting the Zoom/Look/WA button. And maybe there are some other things that would be nice to put there. 

5.Timelapse folks:

I would like to use the camera as a Timelapse machine. But it does not have bulb ramping for me that is a big issue.

This is the fact for all cameras. Best lenses but worst time-lapse implementation. 

How do you achieve a time-lapse that starts in the night an ends in bright sunlight? Is there a trick that I don't get?

I admit, the title of the thread is very catchy. For a moment, I though there's a service release. 

Agree with your request, but changes are so big, that the firmware would probably be named v5.0
