New firmware updates released for the Leica M10, Q, CL, TL2, TL, T cameras

By LR admin | Published: June 29, 2018


Leica Camera just released new firmwre updates for the Leica M10, Leica Q, Leica CL, Leica TL2, Leica TL and even the original Leica T camera.

The firmware updates are available from the Leica website. Users can either download and install the update themselves or have it installed within the scope of the free update service offered in all Leica Stores.

UPDATE: the Leica Q firmware update instructions are wrong, youy must “press and hold the video on button when powering up the camera to see the firmware update screen”.  See the more detailed comment from Zak Zavada:

“FYI updating the firmware on the Q is done as follows…format sd card in camera, put firmware in root of sd card, hold red record button while restarting the camera. Wait until it is finished updating. Reboot camera.

The information in the “how to update” pdf is faulty, it is correct for an M camera but with the Q you cannot update the firmware via the “camera information” menu.”

Here is the full list and changelog of released firmware updates:
