You are correct, I was mistaken, you cannot re-install the same version of the firmware on the S2 from my experience. Another option might be to downgrade the firmware to the previous version, then upgrade again. I can email you the previous version if you cannot find it online.

Let's give it a try. Would be…[Read more]

The S2 firmware update process takes 3-5 minutes, so if it is only lasting a few seconds, it is possible that the firmware file itself is corrupt. I might try re-downloading it from Leica's website, re-formatting the memory card, and give the process another try.

Hi Josh,

The first update…[Read more]

I alerted Leica to your problem (which we've never seen before, BTW). I just heard back that reloading the firmware will resolve the issue and that the technicians in Germany are looking for the underlying cause.

Hi David,

Thanks for your quick reply and your effort. I already tried to reload the…[Read more]

Nice article. Thanks for all the work.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the effort and for sharing the presets. I used the presets on some shots made in a church and the results are very satisfying.

– Fix the auto bracketing feature to work like the M9 where it will fire off all shots in the sequence at the first press of the shutter. As it is now, the shutter button must be pressed for eacha ND every shot in the auto bracketing sequence.

They listened to…[Read more]

Jack take a look here. You should be pretty good prepared with a new air.

VERY NICE! Love the light.

Hi Mark,

I'm doing it the same way as you when shooting handheld. I do set the exposure by half pressing the shutter release, focus with the back button, compose the picture and fire.

Tripod is different. Before using the S2 I very often used the M Mode. But with the S2 I mostly use the exposure compensation.

I think the S2 really…[Read more]

Hi Arif,

My feelings go up and down with this picture. I do love the composition, even if it is a little bit artifical. I do love the motive at all, but I would love to see the young monk a little bit more highlighted apart from the background.

I took a look at the other pictures of your trip to Myanmar. Very nice. Especially the two…[Read more]

Hi Doug,

Thanks a lot for the work you did. I do think, keeping in mind the adapter, the lens you use, that the results are quite satisfying. At least they will work out for a good sized print.

When trying to judge those results I always caught myself looking for the “wow” which isn't something to expect by this combination. Or maybe it…[Read more]

Thanks Jack.

We've done a few of the usual suspects: Grand, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, Antelope, Monument Valley and a little bit of Zion. So I will post some more pictures step by step.

Re what I will do with it: I dont know yet. I still have a crush on my camera, we do not know each other that well. If you understand what I mean.…[Read more]

Hi Marc,

That is a hard question you are asking. I would say depends. What would you like to tell? What do you see? With which techniques (grain, contrast etc.) could you express and underline the feeling you have when seeing this picture.

What I mostly do before converting a picture into B&W is making it a nice colorfull picture. In my…[Read more]
