      2.1.1 solved a lot of crashes for me. However, user profiles are unusable if you want to use exposure compensation. Select a profile and use any method wheel menu etc to adjust exposure compensation and the camera will switch back to the default profile. What is the point of a user profile if one can’t use exposure compensation?

      David Farkas replied a year ago

      The Q3 isn't experiencing sensor corrosion. The upgrade program was created for owners of Leica M9-generation cameras. Those older CCD sensors, originally manufactured for Leica by Kodak, had a flaw in the sensor coverglass coating. With time, these sensors will pit and corrode. Since replacement sensors are no longer available, Leica created the upgrade program to create a path forward for those owners impacted by the issue.
