Today, Leica has rolled out a new firmware package targeted at its T (Typ 701) digital camera model, namely version 1.6, which improves performance for the device’s autofocus feature and esp. in AF-C mode (45% faster in close-up range and 25% faster in normal range).
In addition to that, the current update will add support for the new Leica TL app available for Android and iOS, which improves camera operation, menu, and focus selection, as well as playback and pictures in full frame modus through swiping.
Last but not least, owners who upgrade to this release will also benefit from support for OIS function support for Leica SL lenses, as well as Leica R-Adapter L compatibility for all R-lenses.
With this in mind, if you intend to apply the present version, save the downloadable file, copy it to the root folder of a formatted memory card, make sure your imaging device benefits from a fully charged battery, and turn the unit off.
