Subject: [Leica] LEICA: Leica M9 Firmware 1.138 Released

in case anyone missed the announcement, Leica today released new FW for 
the M9.

i'm intrigued by "Auto White Balance in conditions with power saving 
lamps" since none of my digital Leicas has ever liked the (admittedly 
ghastly) light from compact flourescent bulbs.

Leica M9 Firmware 1.138 Released

Today on August 6th a new firmware version for the LEICA M9 was released 
and is available for download here.

According to Leica theses are the improvements of the version 1.138 
firmware:

1. Camera Performance

_ Improved compatibility of SDHC cards. Nevertheless, we recommend our 
customers cards such as the ?Extreme III? from the leading brand ?SanDisk?.

_ Improved Auto White Balance in conditions with power saving lamps and 
tungsten light.

2. Bug Fixes

_ Saving user profiles has been improved (changing from one profile to 
another did sometimes cause problems)

_ Time display in ?American? format corrected.

_ Auto power off bug fixed (camera did turn off automatically while 
using the Play Mode or scrolling through the menu).
