      You're not the only one. The file seems to be missing on Leica's downloads page. You can click the link in the article for a direct download link.

      Hi, nice to have the joystick lock feature.

      However, my SF 40 flash still seems completely non-functional.

      It might fire once when I first turn it on, (massive over exposure, or nice, or under exposure) and then it never fires again. This is in any mode with any lens attached. 24-90mm or manual lens. PSAM, Auto mode, or TTL mode. Fixed ISO at 200, set slow sync, or 1/125 or 1/F nothing…..

      I can turn everything off and try again, and it fires once and then gives up again.

      Any suggestions welcome. (It did this on the prior version firmware too) If a put an old Sun Pack flash on it, in Sun Pack A mode, it works great. Of course it is not using any TTL or camera funtions.

      thanks in advance for any suggestions,

      Dave
