[Leica] Cannot upgrade M8 firmware-- Now done it!

[geordiepete211 at yahoo.co.uk (Peter Cheyne)]

So I did that, I put the M8 firmware upgrade on the card while in the  
M9 was set up as a Mass Storage device.  I put the card back in the  
M8, and it asked if I want to upgrade.  Said it was successful.   
Restarted the M8, it's now on Firmware 2.014.

I notice a problem with the new firmware, at least for me.  After I  
took a shot, before the upgrade, I was able to scroll the thumbwheel  
and zoom into the image.  Now, after the upgrade, I take a shot and  
wait for the screen to go black, and then have to press play in order  
to zoom in.  Seems like a downgrade to me!  Still, it's amazing how  
sharp images seem on the M8 screen compared to the M9 screen.   
Different story once uploaded to the computer, of course.

Ahh, now I notice something.  When set to JPG, I cannot zoom in on the  
first preview image (the one that displays automatically after the  
shot is taken).  But back in DNG mode, I can zoom in with that first  
image preview.  Not sure if zooming in on that first, automatic,  
preview was possible before the upgrade, but it isn't possible now.  I  
only ever use/used DNG.  It was on JPG because Frank suggested I Reset  
the camera.

I'll be trying to sell the M8 on Yahoo Auction as soon as a friend can  
help me do a write-up for it in Japanese.  I like the camera, but I  
have an M3, M6, M7J, and M9.  The M8 never gets used these days.  It  
has Leica warranty until mid-August, so it should be a good buy for  
someone here in Nippon.
