Additional information on the Leica Q3 firmware update version 1.2.0

By LR admin | Published: August 6, 2023

As I already mentioned online, the latest Leica Q3 firmware update version 1.2.0 did not come with an actual change log indicating all the fixes and improvements. I was told that only one of the two issues described in my previous post was fixed:

The power-down freezes issue is now fixed.
The new firmware update seems to improve the start-up time.
The issue with the half-press preview exposure being different than what you see prior to the half-press also seems to be fixed.

The second playback mode issue where images won’t display properly and sometimes lock up the camera will be fixed in the next firmware update.

The firmware update installation instructions can be found here.
