New Firmware for Leica Q2, SL (Typ 601) and CL
Versions 2.0, 3.7 and 3.2
Leica Camera is releasing new firmware updates for the Leica Q2, Leica SL (Typ 601) and Leica CL – bringing new capabilities and expanded compatibility. Upon release, camera firmware downloads and installation instructions will be found on the Leica corporate website, in dedicated Firmware sections of each camera's page. See subsequent pages of this memo for all details of changes in each firmware.
Version 2.0 for the Leica Q2 brings a whole suite of new features and valued
performance upgrades. From core processing improvements on functions such as DNG file writing speed and Tracking AF prevision, to an overhauled top-level menu status screen inspired by the SL2, this new Q2 firmware gives users many new changes that truly merit the 2.0 moniker. Many of these changes are based off user feedback, including the demand for improved scope of video capabilities. The Q2 2.0 update now allows users to fully control all aspects of exposure control during video – ISO, aperture, and shutter speed – giving the Q2 newfound potential for advanced and pro video applications.
Learning from its newer brethren, the Leica SL version 3.7 update optimizes video performance and matches the L-Log gamma curve output to the Leica SL2. Now both Leica SL and SL2 can be used together within the same production setup. Other changes include improved compatibility with L-Mount Alliance partner lenses, improvement on shutter lag in bright situations and being able to see firmware versions of attached Leica L-Adapters in the camera menu.
Similar to its L-Mount cousin, the Leica CL also sees improved compatibility with lenses from L-Mount Alliance partners, increased performance with less shutter lag in bright backlit situations and visibility of the firmware version of attached Leica L-Adapters in the camera menu. Version 3.2 also now prevents video mode from being inaccessible when the battery is low, so now users can choose to film until the final moments of charge left on the battery.
