Thank you for pointing that out! I never use this mode (easier to carry a spare battery or two) so I was not too familiar with how it operated in 3.2.

I am still interested in this camera even after the Q2 announcement. Is this a wise move? I am primarily a fair weather photographer (no video).
If you like the Q-P's unique matte finish, no reason why not! It's still a fantastic camera. And Leica Store Miami just lowered the pricing on new Q-P's too.
Almost three years after this purchase and I am still in love with this camera.
Josh shared very informative words. They would help us choose the best option.
