INSTALLING FIRMWARE UPDATES
Leica is constantly working on developing and optimizing its products. As
digital cameras have many functions that are controlled electronically, some
of these improvements and enhancements to the functions can be installed
on the camera at a later date.
Leica provides firmware updates at irregular intervals for this purpose.
Information about any resulting changes or additions to the details in these
instructions can be found at: http://www.s.leica-camera.com/down-
loads-overview
You can check whether your camera is running the latest firmware version
by selecting the
Firmware (5.41) option in the menu (see also p. 17 and 26
to 29).
You can easily download new firmware from our home page and transfer it to
your camera:
1. Format a memory card in your Leica S.
2. Turn off the camera and insert the card into a card reader – either integrat-
ed or connected to your computer.
(A reader is required for firmware updates).
3. Download the firmware file from
"https://owners.leica-camera.com/login".
4. Save the file S-X_xxx.FW at the top level of the card 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 cover. Hold down the joystick inwards forwards and
turn on the camera with the main switch (1.15).
The update process begins. This may take several minutes.
After a successful update, a corresponding message appears as confirma-
tion.
Note:
If the battery does not have sufficient charge, you will see a corresponding
warning message.
