Leica has released a new firmware update for the M8 and M8.2 rangefinder cameras. Version 2.005 resolves the error message “Shutter fault”.

When shooting in C-Mode (Continuous) or taking several pictures consecutively in S-Mode (Single), the message “Shutter fault” may appear on the display. The new firmware 2.005 will solve this issue.

Please note:
a. After updating to the new 2.005 firmware the LEICA M8 with quiet 1/4000s shutter and LEICA M8.2 can not be „downgraded“ to the previous firmware.
b. User profiles will be deleted during the update process and will need to be recreated after the firmware upgrade process.
