dkmoore Posted Sunday at 09:22 PM Share #1 Posted Sunday at 09:22 PM Advertisement (gone after registration) I’m typically better about keeping up with firmware updates but slacked as of recent. My M11P was not updated to 2.2.1 and I am not updating to 2.2.3 (latest). Do I need to go back and still update 2.2.1 or will each firmware update completely catch me up?

lct Posted Sunday at 10:14 PM Share #2 Posted Sunday at 10:14 PM Which firmware do you prefer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted Sunday at 10:16 PM Share #3 Posted Sunday at 10:16 PM I don't think each update will completely catch you up, that would mean each firmware update gets larger since it would have to include previous updates as well. But perhaps I think to simple about this. I bought my M11 about two months ago and since then updated it. My M11 had firmware previous to 2.2.1, so I updated that right away and the two next updates since then. Lex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want firmware 2.2.3, so do you want to update to 2.2.2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not updated for the past 2-3 firmwares. Do I need to update each of them or can I just update the latest and I’ll get them all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not updated for the past 2-3 firmwares. Do I need to update each of them or can I just update the latest and I’ll get them all? Firmware updates in general are rarely additive. That is harder for a vendor to control. Your camera is not running a general purpose OS where each update changes this or that application. Updates are all or nothing. What ever version you install replaces whatever was there. A typical update process is something like - download new code into memory - verify download - erase existing firmware from non-volatile memory - install firmware into non-volatile memory - verify the newly installed firmware matches what was downloaded - reset the device Thus the various warnings about full batteries and not turning off the camera mid update. The code that handles the erase and install of the non-volatile memory often lives on a Read Only Memory chip. All that said, I can not give you a 100 % guarantee that this is how Leica does it. But it probably is. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted Monday at 07:37 AM Share #11 Posted Monday at 07:37 AM I can't answer for the M11 specifically, but on previous Leicas I have certainly skipped firmware issues in the past and then updated with just the latest version - not the intermediate versions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just load the latest FW, it will include all previous updates updated. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
