Installing Firmware Updates; Hdmi Slide Show - Leica S2 Instructions Manual

Installing firmware updates

Leica is constantly working on developing and optimizing its
products. As digital cameras have many functions that are con-
trolled electronically, some of these improvements and en -
hancements to the functions can be installed on the camera at
a later date.
To do this, Leica provides firmware updates at irregular inter-
vals, which you can easily download from our homepage to your
camera yourself:
1. Format a memory card in your LEICA S2.
2. Turn off the camera and insert the card into an SD/SDHC
card reader - either integrated or connected to your com -
puter. (A reader is required for Firmware updates).
3. Download the Firmware file from the Leica S2 site using the
„UPDATES" link.
4. Save the file s2-X_xxx.upd at the top level of the card's folder
structure. X_xxx stands for the relevant version.
5. Remove the card properly from your card reader, insert the
card into the camera and close the door. Turn on the camera
using the main switch.
6. Confirm the prompt that appears in the monitor as to wheth -
er you want to update the Firmware on the camera to version
X.xxx.
The update process takes around 180 s. You will then be promp-
ted to restart the camera using the main switch.
7. 1.Turn the camera off and back on again.
Note:
If the battery does not have sufficient charge, you will see a
corresponding warning message.
