LEICA M10 FIRMWARE UPDATE 1.7.4.0
Leica just announced firmware
update 1.7.4.0 for the Leica M10. The main improvement is beter compatibility
with all SD cards. About 40 members of
the Leica Blog conducted a closed beta test. 50 different SD cards of various
manufacturers were tested, especially products which caused problems in the
past. Testing was concluded with no complaints
at all.
According to Leica, other new
features include, for example, optimized color-coding of the status bar for SD
memory cards and battery level, which now change from green to yellow to red as
the battery charge lessens or as the card becomes full. The ‘Favorites Menu’
has also been revised: up to 15 menu entries can now be realized and a second
favourites page opens after adding more than seven entries. In addition to
these new features, users now have even faster access to the main menu – it can
now be opened by pressing the Menu button in the Favorites Menu. The same
button can also be used for page-by-page scrolling.
Another new feature
enables the selection of the target display for automatic review on the monitor
screen. The menu entry now offers the alternatives ‘Auto’, ‘EVF’ or ‘Display’
as target options. Furthermore, ‘Edit Favorites’ now allows the activation of
direct access to ‘M-ISO’ as a Favorites Menu item. The new firmware update also
brings a further significant reduction in the lag (dark screen) between exposure
and display when taking pictures in Live View mode.

Leica will not be participating in the 2017 PhotoPlus
Expo in New York City
According to Leica :
We wanted you to be the
first to know about a change in our typical fall events schedule.
This year, Leica Camera
will hold a four-day program running October 25-28 in New York City. You will
not see Leica at the annual PhotoPlus Expo this year – rather you will be able
to stop by our Leica Store located in nearby SoHo at your leisure throughout
the weekend.
During this time, we will
provide special programming and events as well as access to all products – both
at the Leica Store SoHo and potentially other locations throughout the city. We
will feature our renowned Leica Akademie workshops, with Leica company
representatives on hand to answer questions.
We’ve made the decision to
not participate in PPE because we want to give you, our respected customers, a
more personal Leica experience during your visit to New York. Over the last
five years Leica Camera has created a network of customized stores and
boutiques – including SoHo, Willoughby’s and Gagosian in New York City – which
offers our customers a unique experience in the photography world. With Leica
Stores now open in Boston, New York City, Washington, DC., Miami, Los Angeles,
Las Vegas, San Francisco and Bellevue along with Leica Boutique locations open
across the country, our friends and customers have direct access to
knowledgeable Leica Experts and our products throughout the country, throughout
the year.
We invite all our friends
and customers far and wide making the trip to Manhattan to escape the crowds
and enjoy Leica in an inspiring atmosphere with us.
We’ll have more details to
share as October draws closer. We look forward to seeing you then.
New Leica TL2 camera and Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH
lens
While not yet officially announced, these two new items are listed on the Leica product pages on the official Leica website already. However, if you go here and here, you will get a note saying: 403 VERBOTEN DER SERVER HAT IHRE ANFRAGE ZURÜCKGEWIESEN!
Obviously, these two items
wouldn’t have been incorporated into the official Leica website if they were
not to be introduced soon. Stay tuned.
