    TROUBLESHOOTING

    • We've fixed a bug that prevented the camera from turning off automatically during wireless c​harging in certain situations. The camera now turns off automatically as soon as wireless charging is detected.
    • A bug has been fixed that caused the camera to unexpectedly switch to the default user profile in certain sit​uations.
    • A bug has been fixed that could cause the connection to fail after a remote wake-up with certain Leica Looks or AF mode settings.

    IMPROVE​MENT

    • The warning message displayed upon power-up of the camera in which a BP-SCL4 rechargeable battery is used, was removed.
    • Pictures taken in portrait format will now be displayed in full screen view.
    • A menu option was added, in which focus peaking will be displayed only when focusing is done manually via the MF focus ring.
    • The currently selected AF mode will now be displayed in the form of an additional icon in the upper status bar.
    • In AF mode, Tracking will display the frame in the color of the respective detection status. Tracking will remain inactive when no person or animal is​ detected; green markers signify focus.

    TROUBLESHOOTING

    • An issue occurring in user profiles was remedied: The camera would sometimes freeze when switching from a profile with Leica FOTOS = Off to a profile with Leica FOTOS On. This behavior was corrected.
    • The color matrixes stored in DNG files were updated. As a result, color rendering in third party software using these matrixes for color presets is now improved.
