I would have been with Frank F wrt a sdhc reader but it seems you have tried that :-( Frank D ----- Original Message ---- From: Peter Cheyne <geordiepete211 at yahoo.co.uk> To: lug at leica-users.org Sent: Thursday, 23 June, 2011 15:30:27 Subject: [Leica] Cannot upgrade M8 firmware Thanks, Frank. I tried the Reset function in the Menu just now. No difference. I didn't try another computer yet. Maybe my Mac has been set up badly. I will try it on my Mac at work tomorrow. I am using 8GB SDHC cards, and also a 512MB SD card. None are working in the card reader. They all work in camera for the purpose of uploading images. But I only get a desktop mountable disk using the M9, as the M9 has a Mass Storage disk option. It seems the M8 does not, so it can only upload images when USB connected to a computer, not download firmware upgrade files like the connected M9 can. My two card readers are both $5 cheapies. Even if they cannot use SDHC cards, they should be able to use the 512MB card. They could read those cards when formatted with my Lumix, but not after being formatted with my Ms. Peter _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
