Wait a moment here. Your support call was forward to MARKETING?

This may be the most grim news out of Leica I’ve heard.

How is this even remotely a marketing issue? It’s technical. It’s about a change after a software update.

Egad.

But the tech guy said that the M (240) had not been in existence long enough for a battery to elicit that message. (I wonder that what battery characteristic the firmware is measuring). So he is fielding my complaint to the marketing people and I await a phone call.
