There a certainly now at least 10 people who believe you: App not reliable. It's up to me if I have reservations about using an app to update. People will make up their own minds. I've seen a couple of people who had issues with it and I also know from experience with Sony that app updates can cause problems, there's a reason why they went straight back to SD card updates after trying to force people to use an app with disastrous results. Generally i'm very impressed with the Fotos app so far but as previously stated will not use it for updating firmware. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My start up time is around 1s with a V90 Kingston Canvas React. Followup on my last post. Â I bought this exact card, installed and formatted yesterday. Â Took a few photos, left the cam off for 24 hours. Â Just started up and it took about 4 seconds. Â As I have stated I don't mind because I know its behavior. I know if I start it up again within a couple of hours it will start within 1 second. Â What is concerning is what I reported not too long ago and that was my first freeze w/1.2. Â The Q3 had been functioning flawlessly from purchase until after I updated the firmware to 1.2. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob How's the new card Bob ? I saw this on the Fred Miranda forum, not sure if it's relevant or not. "My M11 was freezing from time to time, even with the latest firmware. Then somebody suggested that OS X writes hidden files to the SD card sometimes which might be causing some issues. So after reformatting with the SD card formatter, I now lock the SD card before inserting it into my Mac and then unlock it again when putting it back into the M11. So far, no freezes on the M11. Might be the same issue with the Q3 too." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed no more issues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I still get a slow start up (4secs) when the camera hasn't been on for a few hours. And yes, I'm using a V90 fast and formatted card.  I had one freeze prior to the updated firmware - none since the update. Paul  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted August 27, 2023 Share #70  Posted August 27, 2023 On 8/6/2023 at 10:08 PM, Qwertynm said: Has anyone elses file numbers been reset? Is this normal behaviour for Leicas? Any way to go back to where I was. Not that it matters much but it was kind of a way to track shutter actuations (not that this matters either...). Leica has been doing this since the M10 despite being asked to change it. It's a complete pain as there is the likelihood of duplicate file names in a catalogue and the problems that causes. Yes, there are workarounds and many folk rename on import but it remains an inconvenience that could be easily corrected in the upgrade software. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you format the card every time you put it back into the camera, it would erase any Mac-specific files that were added. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltice Posted November 8, 2023 Share #72  Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) The issue of a 4 second startup after a period of the camera being off and then subsequent 1 second start times sounds like the part of the camera operating system that holds data for the SD card (like the FAT on a PC hard drive) is being lost. On a ‘cold’ boot up, the camera has to get a refresh of the card image before allowing use. Once the data is back, normal start up can resume until the supply to the RAM decays again when switched off. Doubtful this will be a firmware fix, more hard wiring?
