[Leica] My next Leica camera is a Sony A7

[roark.paul at gmail.com (Paul Roark)]

I did one firmware upgrade, not sure if it was the latest.  So the body is
v. 1.02 and the lens if v. 01.

One glitch I have not traced down is that I've ended up twice with a
setting that saves 3 versions of the raw -- an auto HDR that actually makes
not changes to the file.  I turn it off when found, but I don't know what
is causing it to come on, and it is not really apparent until I review the
photos.  I suspect maybe changing lenses without turning the camera off,
but I have not tested it yet.
