Leica has announced today a firmware update for the LEICA DIGILUX 3. The new firmware,
Version 2.0 offers extensive improvements in the performance of effective digital SLR camera.The new firmware for the LEICA DIGILUX 3 optimizes the functionality of the camera across many applications.

Downloading Details: Please read the instructions on how to update your camera. This firmware version 2.0 provides you with a number of improvements to aide both performance and handling. The Improvements include: -- An additional function for multiple exposures. -- A third OIS mode (MODE 3) enabling the user to employ the „panning" technique. -- A mode that considerably improves the visibility of the monitor image when the camera is held below eye level. -- The aperture value can now be set more easily in the case of lenses (of other makes) that do not have aperture setting rings. -- White balance (WB), colour temperature, ISO-speed, and the flash mode can now be set with the cursor buttons as well as with the main setting dial. Confirming the settings is no longer limited in time. -- Auto Review now also includes a mode without a time limit. -- It is now possible to scroll to the other images even when the one being displayed is enlarged (with the zoom function). -- The firmware version can now be displayed using the setup menu.

About
Oskar Barnack's genius idea of creating the small format 35mm camera
created a revolution in photography in 1925, paving the way for the
birth of the Leica Legend. His diminutive, lightweight LEICA A offered
a new, undreamed-of freedom in reportage and artistic photography. From
that point to the present day, Leica has had a profound influence on our
view of the world we live in.
What was started in 1914 with the Ur-Leica quickly turned into a lasting
success. In 1932, around 90,000 cameras were already in use. By 1961, the
number had increased to a million. Milestones in the development include
the rangefinder cameras such as the legendary LEICA M3 in 1954 and the M6
in 1984. The R-System commenced in 1976 with the LEICA R3 - the first
electronic Leica. In 1989, the first compact point-and-shoot model entered
the market. 1998 also saw the launch of the first digital camera - the
LEICA DIGILUX. Without exception, all developments are focused on the
requirements of the user and are characterized by the highest quality,
focus on essential functions, and comfortable user-friendly controls.
