Probably not a record.  But for the record I did check for any other threads on the subject before posting mine.  Perhaps we were all posting at about the same time?

I'm assuming the mods will combine the threads... yes?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

updated firmware without issue via SD card. 

I first formatted the SD with my MAC to xFAT format 

Copied firmware onto SD card 

Used a nearly full 95% battery

Did not opt to save any profile (don't really make use of them on this camera)

 

Update took a few minutes. No having to reset date

Surprising that it was not announced by LUF admin.

Updated via Fotos app with no problem.

Maybe the M11-D will finally released now! 🫠

Updated the M11M without issue, did the full resets. Seems to be working fine.

Got minor freezes associated with the dust protection function under firmware 2.1.1. They seem to be fixed under firmware 2.1.2 so i plan to delete my tip 6 accordingly. Will do it in September if freezes don't come again until then.

M11 Fotos App update with no problems so far.

Ugh. This is the first time in my life that a firmware update arrives for a camera I own before I applied the previous firmware update.

We can also put the UHS-I versus UHS-II debate to bed for now.

So I'm fairly new to digital Leica so excuse my dumb question, if I update through the app, during the update, does it also "wipe" format the SD card while it's at it? If I were to download and drop the file to the SD and update that way, will that also "wipe" format the SD? I want to know because I want to go ahead with the update, but would like to keep the few shot I have on the SD for a little longer. Or I remove the SD before updating through the app, and afterwards put the SD back in?

So far, so good.

Updated via Fotos

Took some five minutes via app, all fine.

Interesting to see that some photogs own not only one M11. Too many lenses? 😁

I just updated via the app.  My earlier shots are still there.

I'm in - I had a freeze today! Odd one at that - pushed the shutter button - nothing. Pushed again - nothing. No lights to indicate anything wrong. Turned camera off - got the red light and I was frozen. Maybe the update will fix it - has only done that particular one twice.

May happen randomly. Half pressing the shutter release can suffice to awake the camera but popping out both battery and SD card can be necessary in worst cases. Firmware 2.1.2 does not fix the issue unfortunately. Disabling dust protection could avoid the problem under fw 2.1.1. I will test it again under fw 2.1.2 so i will refrain from deleting my tip 6 for now.

Same warning since fw 2.0.1 apparently. Strange that opimization for UHS-I takes that long, being an earlier technlogy.

Next you will want me to read the manual lol

I don’t recall being prompted to do this when updating via the Fotos app either. Given the use of the word recommended I take it with a grain of salt as something to do should issues arise. Kinda like rebooting your computer after a software install.

The bit  that fought my attention was the comment about UHS-1 cards. SO, another bone of contention ( again taken with a grain of salt)… why did Leica recommend a number of UHS-1 cards for the M11? Is there a current flavor of UHS-2 recommended ?

Well, you know what they say: RTFM!

But really, their instructions and notes are often not correct. Makes you wonder when they last time went through their own procedures ...
