Leica M8 Manual de uso y cuidado

Instructions for updating the LEICA M8 & M8.2Firmware

1. Format an SD memory card in your LEICA M8.

2. Turn off the camera and insert the card into an SD card reader – either integrated or connected to your

computer. (A reader is required for Firmware updates).

3. Download the Firmware file from the Leica M8 site using the “UPDATES” link and unzip the file.

4. Save the unzipped file m8-2_004.upd at the top level of the card’s folder structure.

Illustration example: Top level of card’s folder structure

5. Remove the card properly from your card reader, insert the card into the camera and close the bottom cover.

6. Turn on the camera using the main switch and wait for at least 3 seconds before continuing with step 7.

7. Confirm the prompt that appears in the monitor as to whether you want to update the firmware on the camera

to version 2.004.

The update process takes around 180s. You will then be prompted to restart the camera using the main

switch.

8. Turn the camera off and back on again.

Note: If the battery does not have sufficient charge, you will see a corresponding warning message.

Firmware version 2.004 - The update adds these improvements to your camera:

Detection of 6-bit coding for new M lenses:

The 6-bit coding and the correction profiles of the new Leica M lenses LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50mm/f0.95

ASPH. and LEICA SUPER-ELMAR-M 18mm/f3.8 ASPH. have been implemented.

Discrete Mode for all LEICA M8 cameras:

Since the Market introduction of the LEICA M8.2 we have received numerous requests from customers,

asking for the delayed shutter cocking action in combination with the LEICA M8. Therefore with the new

firmware 2.004, the Discreet-Mode is available on all LEICA M8. At the lower end of the Menu list a new

menu point „Advance“ has been added with the options „Standard“ and „Discreet“.

Notes:

a. It is not possible to “downdate” LEICA M8 and M8.2 cameras to previous firmware releases, once

the version 2.004 has been installed.

b. Saved User Profiles will be deleted during the update process and have to be set again after

updating the camera.

c. The maximum aperture value of the lenses M 21mm/f1.4, M24mm/f1.4 and 50mm/f0.95 are not

displayed correctly in the EXIF-Files.
