I have a Leica M10R that freezes from time to time.
I downloaded the firmware 30.22.23.34 from reddit.com to reinstall it in the camera just in case. (The version in the camera was already 30.22.23.34)
When I click on download, a window opens with: “There is no application set to open the document “M10-R-30.22.23.34-Customer.FW”.
My Mac is a MacBook M1 Pro with latest Ventura 13.2.1
Can you please advise what I should do.
Thanks
You need to copy the download to a memory card and insert it in the camera where it can be read.
