Leica M9 firmware update 1.134 should be available any moment now

By LR admin | Published: July 23, 2010

Those are the official details of the previously rumored Leica M9 firmware update v.1.134:

"Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We would like to inform you that we will put a new Firmware-Update 1.134, for the LEICA M9, onto our homepage. The download, which is free of charge, is expected to be available by Thursday July 22nd, 2010. All new LEICA M9 are being shipped with the new firmware as well.

The improvements in the Firmware Version 1.134 are:

Camera Performance

Improved compatibility of SDHC cards. Therefore, we recommend for example the “Extreme III” or “Professional” cards from the leading brands “SanDisk” and “Lexar”.
Improved AWB in conditions with power saving lamps and tungsten light

Bug Fixes

Saving user profiles has been improved (changing from one profile to another has sometimes caused problems)
Warning levels for battery capacity have been optimized
Time display in “American” format corrected
Auto power off bug fixed (camera doesn’t turn off automatically when using the gallery or scrolling through the menu when Auto power off is activated)

We are convinced that the new firmware version will have a positive effect on the great popularity of the LEICA M9, and we are looking forward to your cooperation."

    Interesting final statement.. you’d think they’d have a native English speaker to do the translation – “we’re looking forward to your cooperation” sounds like something from Germany in the early 1940′s :x

    Is this really legitimate? As far as I can see the update is still not up and the source of the message quoted here is in russian and doesn’t seem to be from the official website.

    Does anyone have a solid confirmation that a firmware update is really on its way?

      The upcoming M9 firmware update is real. The press release is also real – there is no reason for Leica Russia to fake that statement. Probably something came out in the last moment. Leica should also make Adobe LR3 available for download with every M9 purchase (if you haven’t used the serial number already).
