Advertisement Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 Hi malko, Take a look here Leica M11 Firmware 1.6.1 is available. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

scott kirkpatrick Posted March 3, 2023 Share #24  Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Installed, after saving profiles (twice). Didn't bother to test date and time, forgot to reinstall profiles, but date and time were OK, profiles unchanged. settings like the first letter of each frame number and the copyright info came up unchanged. Those are long-standing problems which seem to be safely behind us now. I shot 30 frames in a minute, using auto ISO and exposure fixed at 1/4f, moving around he office to different views. All changes occurred only in the ISO. No overexposures. Then I did another thirty, with smaller f-stop, exposure limit at 1/6 second, auto ISO. Differences between frames were seen in both ISO and shutter speed. Again no overexposures. That's very good news. No freezes, although those have been rare, and I'll wait to close the book on that one. I see that Leica only promises that some causes of freeze have been worked on. They know that list is endless.  (card: I'm using SanDisk 300 MB/S Extreme Pro V90 UHS-2) I hope someone with a much slower card will also check.  Edited March 3, 2023 by scott kirkpatrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love that, but we're probably going to have to get in line behind the Mono, -P, -D, Safari, and Reporter (etc.) versions 🙃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted March 4, 2023 Share #27 Â Posted March 4, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had to update my user profiles to avoid freezes under FW 1.6 but i did not do it under FW 1.6.1 and the camera works like a charm with both UHS1 and UHS2 Sandisk cards so far.

The Visoflex 2 is there to step in for the times a EVF is needed and IBIS is the only thing I can think of that would improve the experience. Or self cleaning glass for every time I leave a finger print on the VF glass that blurs the vision 🙄 maybe I need thin all year around gloves 😀. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakontil Posted March 9, 2023 Share #34  Posted March 9, 2023 i have the m11 and im still keeping my m10 r, but it's in black paint and im obsessed.. both are quite capable, but no denying if i have the plain vanilla m10r be it silver or black chrome, it would be easier to part with 😆 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled a lot and decided to keep both, even though m11 sometimes froze up (with 1.6.1 firmware) I enjoyed it more than m10-r. m10-r black paint is mainly for the aesthetical look.  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELAN Posted March 10, 2023 Share #36  Posted March 10, 2023 So I’ve just completed two full days of intense shooting with firmware 1.6.1. 1650 frames on a single battery. No freezes. No overexposure. Gotta love it. 12 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No freezes. No overexposure. Gotta love it. You can take 1650 pictures on a single battery? That's impressive. Maybe you don't playback the pictures and/or play around with lcd too much? I usually get about 800 shots on a fully charged battery. I do view the pictures from time to time, that's where I got most of the freeze-up from, even with firmware 1.6.1 I have so far got about 2-3 freeze-up with the latest firmware, all of them occurred when I played with the buttons. Sometimes I fidget the buttons too quickly and the screen went to dark and buttons are unresponsive. A battery pull solved the issue. I knew I said before that I need to take it slow. But I am just inherently impatient. Edited March 10, 2023 by Warton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikko Kankainen Posted March 10, 2023 Share #39 Â Posted March 10, 2023 I got a freeze 2 days ago with this newest firmware. Â Froze when reviewing image, cannot take a shot, cannot shutdown, only playback menu works, so not frozen but had to take the battery out to continue shooting.
