14 DAY TRIAL // Leica has rolled out new firmware packages targeted at its M10 cameras, which add support for several memory cards with up to 512 GB capacity and improves compatibility with currently supported SD cards.
However, even though Leica’s M10 unit can use new SDHC/SDXC cards, the producer recommends installing cards with 80MB/s write speeds or higher so that performance isn’t affected. Also, make sure to insert only UHS-I cards instead of UHS-II (even though it is compatible, the M10 cannot use the full UHS-II speed).
Therefore, if you intend to apply the present version, save and unzip the downloadable file, format a memory card using the camera, and copy the archive content in the card’s root folder.
Afterward, make sure your imaging device benefits from a fully charged battery, turn the unit off, connect the newly-prepared SD card, and power on the camera while pressing and holding Video Release button.
If all is ok, at this point Leica’s device should recognize the new firmware and prompt you with additional installation steps.
Still, bear in mind that you mustn’t remove the SD card/battery or use any of the camera’s buttons during the upgrade. Doing so might interrupt the installation which can also lead to various malfunctions.
Therefore, download Leica M10 Camera Firmware 1.7.4.0, carefully apply it, and enjoy all the improvements mentioned above. Also, check back with us as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
