Leica has announced the availability of a new firmware package compatible with its T Typ 701 digital camera model, namely version 1.5, which fixes the unit’s wireless connection hang-up issue.

In addition to that, the current update allows Leica’s T Typ 701 unit to create a WiFi Access Point (AP), thus enabling other smart devices to connect to the camera directly. Also, the producer managed to improve the reliability and speed of automatic reconnection feature (to known networks).

That said, if you intend to apply the present version, save and unzip the downloadable file, format a memory card using the camera, and copy the archive content in the card’s root folder.

Afterwards, make sure your imaging device benefits from a fully charged battery, turn the unit off, connect the newly-prepared SD card, and power on the camera while pressing and holding Video Release button.

If all is ok, at this point Leica’s device should recognize the new firmware and prompt you with additional installation steps.

However, bear in mind that, while upgrading, you mustn’t remove the SD card/battery or use any of the camera’s buttons. Doing so might interrupt the installation which can also lead to various malfunctions.

Therefore, download Leica T (Typ 701) Camera Firmware 1.5, carefully apply it, and enjoy all the improvements mentioned above. Also, check back with us as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
