New firmware version 1.174 for Leica M9 released

Leica Camera released new firmware update v.1.174 for M9/M9-P cameras that should fix the SD card compatibility issues reported few months ago:

Leica Camera has become aware of customers experiencing compatibility issues related to select types of new memory cards when used in the Leica M9. This Firmware 1.174 fixes a bug that led to the faulty behaviour. Generally Leica recommends to use SD / SDHC Cards from San Disk. Until further notice, the following SD-Cards are still not recommended to use, because some misbehaviour occurred in the test phasis.

– San Disk Extreme Pro SDHC I UHS-1 (all card sizes)

– San Disk Extreme HD Video SDHC I (all card sizes)
