Leica Q (Typ 116) Camera Firmware 1.1

Performance Improvements:

- Improvement of the image quality in lower ISO settings

Bug Fixes:

- Exposure has been corrected in digiscoping mode after switching off and on again.
- Improvement of the Live View in monochrome mode in combination with AF tracking. After installation of the new firmware the Live View now shows a monochrome image. For proper focusing the camera switches to color when pressing the shutter button halfway.

Firmware Update Procedure:

- Download an updated version of the firmware.
- Copy the firmware file onto a SD Memory Card in its top level folder.
- Make sure to turn off the power switch on the camera.
- Insert the fully charged battery to the body. If the battery is not fully charged, the update process screen will not appear.
- Insert the SD Memory Card into the camera.
- Turn the camera – while simultaneously pressing the video release button – on.
- The firmware update screen will appear. Press OK.
- The LEICA Q will start the update process. The firmware update will take about 90 seconds.
- After the update process please restart the camera (if necessary remove and reinsert the battery).

CAUTION:

- Please do not turn off your camera, or do not remove the SD Memory Card, do not remove the battery while updating your camera's firmware.
- DOING SO CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA!

About Camera Adapter Updates:

Updating to a different firmware version than the one already installed on the adapter can bring various changes such as improved performance and stability, add new features or enhance existing ones, but also various fixes for more or less recurrent issues.

Given the large variety of camera adapters and numerous methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you consider applying the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

If you try to perform the update without knowing all the steps, you risk ending up with a broken device. However, what every upgrade needs is a compatible firmware to be transferred to the adapter (or to the camera) via either a USB cable or a suitable memory card.

That being said, if you consider applying this release and have made sure you’re properly informed on the process of performing the upgrade successfully, hit the download button, and update your camera adapter.
