Prior to 6.0, I only needed to push the joystick back button 1 time to get a focus acoustic signal. After 6.0 I have to press the back button 2 times to get an acoustic focus confirmation. I can't seem to find a fix. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. (Tested on the SL 24-90)

I use the joystick for the AF-ON function  and have noticed this same issue. It now takes two presses of the joystick.

Same on SL2-S. This time before I upgraded I double checked the AF-ON feature from the joystick. Only needed 1 press. After upgrade 2 presses are needed.

There is an additional setting that you need to change:

Meny 4 > Customize Control > Joystick > Button Lock > Press and Hold.

Leica should not have made "Double press" as default. It is confusing many owners.

Thanks.

Thanks "J"....I need to read the release notes more slowly next time. I missed that point.
