Leica has just released
updated firmware for the newly launched TL2. After the first batch of cameras
shipped a couple weeks ago, some early users reported their cameras being
rendered inoperable. Leica acknowledged the problem and tracked down to issue to
a firmware bug that could trigger when using the Visoflex EVF on the camera.
Now, just a week later, the permanent fix is in. This firmware update is not
just recommended for existing owners – it is mandatory. For all future TL2
cameras, the new firmware will be installed before leaving the factory.
You can download the
firmware here: TL2 firmware version 1.1
Also, be sure to stayed

Official Statement from
Leica
Leica Camera would like to
inform you that a new Firmware Version 1.1 is available for the Leica TL2 from
our corporate website. The new firmware allows the Leica TL2 to be used with
the external electronic viewfinder (Visoflex) and ensures complete
functionality of the camera when used with the viewfinder.
Going forward, all Leica
TL2 units shipped from Leica Camera Inc. (USA) will have the updated firmware,
version 1.1.
To update the new
firmware, please do the following:
- Download the updated version of the new firmware and double click on the ZIP-file to unpack it.
- Copy the firmware file onto a SD Memory Card in its top level folder.
- Turn off the power switch on the camera
- Insert the fully charged battery to the body. If the battery is not fully charged, the update process screen will not appear.
- Insert the SD Memory Card into the camera.
- Turn the camera on while simultaneously holding down the video recording button.
- The firmware update screen will appear. Press OK.
- The Leica TL2 will start the update process. The firmware update will take about 90 seconds.
- After the update process, restart the camera.
It is important that the
camera is NOT turned off, SD Memory Card is NOT removed and do NOT remove the
lens while the camera’s firmware is being updated.
