Jimmy O Posted July 23, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi This evening I updated the firmware for my SL2 to 5.1. Unfortunately, as soon as I did this the camera displayed the following message: 'Lens firmware not supported. Please update firmware.' I have downloaded the latest lens software SL Lens 09, but when I go into Camera Information the Lens Firmware option is greyed out. I'm really at a loss regarding what to do next. My lens is a native Leica SL 35mm F2 Apo. I have tried removing this and reattaching but nothing seems to work. Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoolyproductions Posted July 24, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 24, 2023 Hi No definitive suggestions here. Have you tried (i) cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera mount and (ii) take the battery out and then replace, reset camera to factory settings (after saving any profiles on an SD card)? Hope you get it sorted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted July 24, 2023 Share #3 Posted July 24, 2023 Do you have a Leica shop nearby? If it really is just a question of the lens firmware to be updated, they may be able to do it with another camera body. However......... I updated the firmware on my SL2-S last year and my Apo-Summicron-SL 75mm stopped working - dead. It was returned to Wetzlar and they fixed it - in six months😬. I hope you don't have that issue.

Photoworks Posted July 24, 2023 Share #7 Posted July 24, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) the lens firmware in the SL is evoked when the camera is off. try connecting the lens and turning on the camera. but it should be already done it on the previews firmware. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris23 Posted July 24, 2023 Share #8 Posted July 24, 2023 Did you update the camera firmware with or without the lens attached? As I understand it, one should remove any attached lens before updating the camera firmware. Then turn the camera off, attach your lens and turn on the camera - if the attached (Leica SL) lens requires a firmware update, it will immediately proceed automatically. Repeat for each (SL) lens in your kit. At least, that how it worked for me….. Good Luck. ATB, J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
