Ar Wing Posted January 11, 2024 Share #3 Posted January 11, 2024 How long you take for the upgrade? It had been 15 mins but still installing… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps1 Posted January 11, 2024 Author Share #4 Posted January 11, 2024 The download and then installation was made from the Leica Fotos application. I didn't time, I saved the profiles and then installed them and it lasted less than 10 minutes. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted January 11, 2024 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2024 Did they fix the blackout issue after each picture? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted January 11, 2024 Share #6 Posted January 11, 2024 Nice update. Startup much faster. The blackout after a shot also seems to be shorter, but I do not remember how it was before :(.

I have no interest in Fotos - I don't need jpg "Looks" as I don't shoot jpg, and I don't trust Leica's software or wireless transfer. I can do that safely and quickly transferring images by downloading from the memory card direct to my computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C.1975 Posted January 11, 2024 Share #12 Posted January 11, 2024 (edited) Did the update via fotos. My first observations: - In AFs the AF is way more snappy in my dimly lit living room. There is no doubt, that's a definite improvement - Start up time was already fast with my Q3, so it's still fast. Maybe it is even a bit faster. But as said, I never faced the issue of a slow start up - Black-out time in single shot might be a bit shorter. Not sure about this. I tried to memorize before and after, but I am not sure. I also not have a good memorized gut-feeling for it from daily use, as I use the preview-when-shutter-stays-pressed-down-function. Therefore it was a non issue for me. There definitely still is some black-out time. Correction: I believe it is definitely a tiny bit shorter. - BUT: It is really crazy when shooting in 2- or 4-frames/s: There is ZERO black out time. The live-view just stays on. This is crazy good and shows what is possible with this camera. I don't understand why there is still a black out in single shot - Overall everything is very snappy now Now just fix the black-out in single-shot and everything is perfect. Overall a great update!

The blackout after a shot also seems to be shorter, but I do not remember how it was before :(. I recall the last update was designed to improve startup time. The question is what the startup time will be AFTER the cam has been sitting unused for 24 hours. That's when many found out after the last update the startup time had really not changed. That's why in my use, I always turn the Q3 on then off a little before its intended use. So, please respond in this thread tomorrow after your cam has sat for a long while and report the startup time. I will wait to update via SD card. My first update months ago using the FOTOS app almost resulted in a bricked cam. Bob Edited January 11, 2024 by BobsFirstLeica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltz Posted January 11, 2024 Share #14 Posted January 11, 2024 (edited) I just did the update via the photos app. It took less than 5 minutes. Unlike the previous firmware upgrade which imported the user profiles for me, this one I had to do manually. Edited January 11, 2024 by Miltz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it didn’t save my user profiles, even though I said yes to save them. Unless I’m doing something wrong here. You need to import them manually after firmware update is finished 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will test it in 24 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilm3 Posted January 12, 2024 Share #19 Posted January 12, 2024 I downloaded V2.0.1 through the FOTOS app here in California. It has been 2 hours and not finished updating on the camera yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
