Became stubborn, so I used approx. 2 hours In the end I tried the "old fashioned" way and it worked. Hope it gets easier with Leica Fotos next update, kinda disappointed it didn't work (have quite a few other paired things that work fine) Mine finally showed up in the Fotos app. On the third or fourth try, I left the app open, and it just appeared in there below the camera list. Maybe it's a download problem caused by my location?? It did finally work though. Disappointing as it was. I'm betting on a major upgrade in the not-too-distant future.

Advertisement Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Hi MikeD70, Take a look here Q3 1.3 firmware. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
WaitListed Posted October 7, 2023 Share #62 Posted October 7, 2023 Just got my camera a few days ago, took 66 pictures then noticed the 1.3 firmware update (which I did via SD card method). Only had to reset a few things, but what is upsetting is that my filename when from L10000066 to L10100001. For years I have used continuous file # naming on my cameras as a way of approximating my shutter count. I tried the method noted above of moving my last file to a card and hoping the camera would just renumber from there, but it just continued with the L101xxxx numbering. Having just sold two cameras in order to afford the Q3, I know how import shutter count is. My question, does anyone know if I were to completely RESET my camera, would it go back to the L1000001 naming? Just thought I'd ask before going through a worthless experiment. Any other recommended solutions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelu2010 Posted October 8, 2023 Share #63 Posted October 8, 2023 Hey, I am experiencing very long delay of saving images, sometime even if I only make one image at the time. the viewfinder turns black and it take 5-10 sec. Until I can see the the refresh of the viewfinder. Is this a known issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I can see the the refresh of the viewfinder. Is this a known issue? No, I can't confirm that. With AfS and single image the blackout lasts 1sec. However, retrieving the images in the image view takes about 5 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKnopf Posted October 8, 2023 Share #65 Posted October 8, 2023 Switching it off now takes 6 to 10 seconds with 1.3. Switching on takes about 3 seconds Overall, the performance and responsiveness to inputs is significantly slower than SL or M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianh Posted October 8, 2023 Share #66 Posted October 8, 2023 The way I read your comments... we might receive a new firmware soon. The fix of the fix 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching on takes about 3 seconds Overall, the performance and responsiveness to inputs is significantly slower than SL or M. An idiosyncrasy. I always charge my battery in the charger, usually over night. In the morning when I re-insert the 100% charged battery, the startup is 1s or less. Any other morning, if the battery has been left in, and the camera hasn't been used for 12 or more hours, the startup time is about 3s or even more. I've learned to live with it. With no need last night to charge the battery, the battery had been left in the Q3 and the camera had not been used for 24 hours. Normally it would take the 3s or more at startup. However, for curiosity, I popped out the battery for a few seconds, popped it back in, and, viola, it started up in 1s or less! Interesting, to say the least. Any theories?

Aram Langhans Posted October 9, 2023 Share #70 Posted October 9, 2023 WOW! Looks like I should sit this one out as it sounds like a 1.4 should soon be released. Unfortunately should does not mean will. But I tend to trust Leica, or I would not use them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It locked when the button was pressed and after I took the shot it was unlocked and I would have to lock it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

redlstoff Posted October 15, 2023 Share #74 Posted October 15, 2023 Today I installed the new 1.3 software. The camera freezes randomly and I can't take pictures after I've made 2. Also the camera won't turn off anymore when turning the off button. Any idea what is wrong? Can I install an older software? This is a joke for that amount of money.

Did you have any issues before going to 1.3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_ Posted October 16, 2023 Share #79 Posted October 16, 2023 Unfortunately the battery still drains when the camera is turned off with the 1.3 firmware. 2 days without usage will incur about 20% drop in battery. This also happened before on 1.2. I turned off the wifi feature to see if that makes any difference but unfortunately not. Also have EVF at 60fps and power saving features are standard (which shouldn't come into play if its turned off). A bit annoying and don't think i'm the only one affected. I use the wireless charging grip and sit it on there now to help compensate and ensure the battery is always topped up. I also invested in a spare.
