Leica CL and firmware updates…..

I have checked my CL firmware and note it has 4.0.  I have seen that the latest was 4.1. Which was some time ago.

A report says that 4.1 was done not to add anything but to fix bugs.

As far as I am aware, my unit acts as it should.  (Apart from the top display does not turn off.  Off meaning go blank. If I turn it off in the menu, it will not light up, but settings are visible…..is this correct?)

Has anyone had an issue with 4.1 ?  And does anyone know what these “bug fixes” were for?

I am of the opinion to leave well alone, if indeed all is well.  Having so many features I will never get round to using, I couldn’t say for sure.

The top display, is that one of the “bugs”?  What I don’t want to do is to update and run into trouble……like with Apple phones!!

Any help appreciated.

I sent my CL into Leica US with an issue with .fw 4.1, it came back with fw 4.0. So I don't think there is a problem. From what I remember 4.1 gave the camera a better/working interface with an updated FOTOS app and added some lens profiles.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0m. If I remember 4.1 was so the camera would work better with the FOTOS app and adding some lenses to profiles. I reloaded 4.1 and don't notice a difference. I mostly use older (1960s-70

Thanks for that.  Any FW at any time can go wrong, if you are unlucky enough to be the rare one (with Apple I have been).

interesting to note that US put 4.0 in. Which says a lot, if only on your particular unit.
