Which portion do you find disappointing? 



I can live with what it fixes.? It is not clear whether, if there is a bug 
in the firmware, an original M8 can be downgraded; an M8.2 apparently cannot 
be.? (crosses fingers? - no, waits for others to test and verify 
functionality first)

i now find a short and (if complete) disappointing note 

Firmware Version 2.005 ? The following improvements have been implemented: 
Page1of1/ AsatJuly 2010 Leica Camera AG / Oskar-Barnack-Stra?e 11 / D-35606 
Solms / Telefon +49 (0) 6442-208-0 / Telefax +49 (0) 6442-208-333 / 
www.leica-camera.com 
Resolving the error message ?Shutter fault? 
When shooting in C-Mode (Continuous) or taking several pictures 
consecutively in S-Mode (Single), the message ?Shutter Fault?may appear on 
the display. The new firmware 2.005 will solve this issue. 
Please note: 
a.????????After updating to the new 2.005 firmware the LEICA M8 with quiet 
1/4000s shutter and LEICA M8.2 can not be ?downgraded? to the previous 
firmware. 
b.????????User profiles will be deleted during the update process and will 
need to be recreated after the firmware upgrade process.
