Since many camera functions are entirely controlled by software, some of these improvements and additions to the functional scope can be installed in retrospect. Leica offers firmware updates at irregular intervals, which you can download from our website. Leica will notify you of any new updates, once you have registered your camera. Users of Leica FOTOS will also be automatically notified about firmware updates for their Leica cameras. There are two options for installing firmware updates. –conveniently via the Leica FOTOS app –directly via the camera menu Finding the currently installed firmware version ▸Select  Camera Information  in the main menu • The current firmware version is displayed next to the menu item  Camera Firmware Version  .

You will therefore have to take particular note of the following, when carrying out a firmware update: • Do not switch off the camera! • Do not remove the memory card! • Do not remove the rechargeable battery! • Do not detach the lens! Notes • A warning message will appear if the battery is insufficiently charged. Recharge the battery and then repeat the process described above. • You will find additional device and country-specific registration marks and numbers in the  Camera Information  submenu. PREPARATION ▸Fully charge and insert the rechargeable battery ▸Any stored firmware files on the memory card must be removed • We recommend saving any images on the memory card and reformatting it before the update. (Caution: Loss of data! All data stored on the memory card will be lost during formatting.) • Make sure to back up any files saved to the internal memory as a precaution. ▸Download the latest firmware version ▸Save the download to the memory card • The firmware file must be stored in the main directory of the memory card (not in a sub-directory). ▸Insert the memory card into the camera ▸Switch the camera on EN 6 UPDATING THE CAMERA FIRMWARE ▸Preparation ▸Select Camera Information in the main menu ▸Select  Camera Firmware Version   ▸Select  Firmware Update  • A prompt with information about the camera is displayed. ▸Check the version information ▸Select  Ye s   • The prompt  Do you want to save profiles on SD card?  appears. ▸Select  Ye s  / N o   • The update will start automatically. • The lower status LED will flash during this process. • Once the process has completed successfully, a relevant message will appear and the camera will restart.

Notes • In self-timer mode, the exposure value is set just before shoot. • The self-timer function is available only for single frame shooting and for bracketing. • The function remains active until another function is selected from the  Drive Mode  submenu. DATA TRANSFER VIA USB CABLE OR “LEICA FOTOS CABLE” The camera supports multiple transfer options ( P T P   or  Apple MFi  ). This requires an appropriate camera setting.

For the same reason, the battery must never be removed from the camera while the connection is active.
