Here, I'm just referring to the exposure slider in Lightroom. Each whole integer number represents one stop. So, if I'm pushing 3 stops that means that that exposure slider is set to +3.00. Hope that clarifies.

We talked about diffraction limits with the 60MP sensor on our Red Dot Forum Camera talk M11 Monochrom episode. Definitely best practice to avoid stopping down past f/5.6 for most shooting on the M11M. I found that stretching to f/8 for times I really needed the extra depth of field was still okay.

Great review as usual. I was a little disappointed that you didn’t cover diffraction limits at smaller apertures.

La causa más común de los accidentes de peatones es la conducción negligente. Los conductores a menudo hacen un lapsus de buen juicio y se permiten distraer mientras están en la carretera. El uso del teléfono móvil, la conducción en estado de embriaguez, el incumplimiento de las leyes de tránsito y otros comportamientos imprudentes, conducen a accidentes de peatones desastrosos.

I downloaded the update file from the link in the email I received from Leica. Drug the file onto a freshly formatted SD card, inserted the card in the camera and performed the update. The update took about 3-4 minutes. Side note: before the update started it asked if I wanted to save my profiles to the card. I selected YES. After the update the profiles were restored.

I have just upgraded from my M (Typ 240) to a brand new M11 and immediately installed the latest firmware 1.6.1
Sadly, I still had two occasions today, where the M11 froze. I have not yet been able to make out any particular camera settings that might lead to the bug. I suspect it is to do with the live view.
