FIRMWARE UPDATES
Leica is continuously working on the further improvement and optimiza-
tion of your camera. 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.
Find out which firmware version is currently installed:
▸ Select SETUPSETUP
▸ Select Camera InformationCamera Information in the main menu
▸ You will find the relevant version designation in the submenu

More information about registering, firmware updates and how to
download them to your camera, as well as any amendments and
additions to this manual can be found in the customer area of our
website at:

connected to your computer (a reader is required for firmware
updates)

existing one, this is indicated in the relevant line (CameraCamera or LensLens) with
a character in front of and behind the firmware number.
