Leica Camera AG made the
following announcement:
Leica has released
firmware update 2.0 for the Leica Q, bringing numerous new features to the
highly successful full-frame compact camera. The update is available to
download now from the Leica web site.
Leica works continuously
in close collaboration with Leica photographers on the development and
optimisation of its products, and, as a result, a number of enhancements in
this latest firmware update have been based on specific customer
recommendations and suggestions.
The first of several
improvements, DNG format can now be selected as a separate option in addition
to JPG and DNG + JPG, allowing photographers to save space on their memory
card.
An optimised EVF mode
makes navigation even easier than before. With this firmware update, a press of
the Menu or Play button now allows the user to switch straight to menu control
/ picture assessment on the LCD screen.
The shutter speed range
has been expanded and now includes speeds of up to 120 seconds.
‘User Profile’ is now
directly selectable via the FN button, facilitating quick and easy access to
all functions stored in a particular user profile.
The spirit level display
has also been improved, remaining visible when the shutter release is pressed.
Three optimised autofocus
functions bring further creative freedom:
The 1-field autofocus
metering area can now be selected in three different sizes: small, medium and
large.
AF motion in digital zoom
mode for focal lengths of 35mm and 50mm has been limited to avoid focusing on
objects outside the zoom range.
Face Detection has also
been optimised: if no face is detected, AF now automatically reverts to
multi-field autofocus mode.
Furthermore, a fourth
information screen has been added, with the option to display the lower bar
separately. The touch-controlled magnification function in playback mode has
been revised, whereby double-tapping calls up the maximum enlargement or
reduces the image back to original size.
Other new additions
include a countdown display for long exposures / noise reduction, three modes available
for the thumbwheel (Off/Auto/Exp. Comp.) and deactivation (Mode Lock) of the
video button, if required. A change to WiFi password setting now allows the
characters to remain visible when entered, and flash-unit compatibility has
been extended to support the Leica SF 40 and SF 64.
