FIRMWARE UPDATE 4.1.0
IMPROVEMENT
- 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.
