Today Leica released new firmware updates for three Leica SL cameras:

• Download Leica SL2 Firmware v5.2.0
• Download Leica SL2-S Firmware v5.2.0
• Download Leica SL (Typ 601) Firmware v4.0

Additional information is available on Reddotforum:

SL2 / SL2-S version 5.2.0 Improvements

• BP-SCL6 Support: The biggest feature in the new firmware is official support of the latest BP-SCL6 battery. Introduced with the Q3, the new BP-SCL6 offers 18% greater capacity at 2200mAh than the original BP-SCL4. While the newer battery seemed to work fine in SL2 cameras prior to the update, official support means more accurate battery life indication and greater stability.
• Limitation for Higher Current Consumption Lenses Removed
• New M Lenses 6-Bit Code Support: With more 6-bit codes and lens correction profiles, the SL2 and SL2-S will work with all the latest M lens offerings from Leica, including the recent 50mm Summilux-M ASPH II, which was introduced after the last firmware update.
• Misc Bug Fixes

SL (Typ 601) version 4.0 Improvements

• Profoto Remote Flash Control Support: Already present on the newer SL2 and SL2-S, the SL601 can now natively use Profoto remote flash systems. Nice to see Leica continuing to add functionality to previous generation cameras.
• New M Lenses 6-Bit Code Support: The SL601 gets the same additional M lens support as the SL2 and SL2-S
