So I do weddings for a living.
I have 2 sl2s, 1 q3 and one m11(personal use)

Now since the latest update one of my sl2s doesn't function properly anymore. I use back button focus and it will work for 3 or 4 times and than I can't use it anymore and all the buttons (menus, fn,.. ar unusable) and to top that my q3 freezes constantly and I don't mean 1 time per day, but really, 20-30 times a day 😵‍💫😱

Anyone experiencing the same issue(s)? And is there a possibility to install an older firmware ?

Thank you so much guys

A full reset, new media cards and fully charged batteries.

Done but stays the same ☹️

No problems here. What lens(es) are you using? Just ask because BBF only works e.g. with Sigma lenses when they are set to manual on the lens.

Leica Service-

I wonder what went wrong. We have very few update problems on the forum and two cameras of two different types at the same time?  The odds against it are astronomic.

I have a big assignment tomorrow night with the sl2s.  I use the back button focus a lot.  If the update did not go well I will find out quickly. 

Can you expand more on the exact problems you are having?

Can you go back to factory settings with no updates?

If you cannot get the cameras working contact Leica directly and ask for loaners.

my assignment went well.  I had a fast and furious reception event and absolutely put the sl2s through it's paces with the back button focus and eyes autofocus.  no issues.

glad it went well and congrats for the job  

as a side question, which AF mode did you use? AFs, AFc, iAF?

thanks 

[tangosix]

I usually use iAF, and it usually stays on AFs. 

I fins the back button focus works well in tricky situations ... spot focus versus face recognition.  I keep a program button to go between those two because I am capturing food and detail along with humans.
