Hi Gents,
I'm adding info here. I had the chance to compare the behavior of the firmware 1.0 and the firmware 2.0 (in a shop, Double Expo, in Paris)
Concerning the bug I mention, both firmware operate the same way: in AFS/MF, depressing the shutter does a AEL. This is really not logical.
My opinion is that when using the R lens, one is supposed to use the display rather than the viewfinder. 

But in the viewfinder, there is the focus confirmation.

Anyone can shake the Panasonic Tree to see if they correct it?

Here, no feed back from Leica France...

Hello Listers,

Being in Languedoc, I  have some light and some time to play with the
Digilux.

I have discovered the following:
Which ever mode A/P/S/M, which ever the customised values for the button
AFL/AEL when the camera is in focus mode AFS or MF, depressing lighly the
shutter memorises and lock the exposure.

This is very annoying since when using a R lense, it is better to press
lightly the shutter to activate the focus confirmation and then adjust the
exposure.

However, on this camera, there is a button called AEL/AFL, customisable to
lock the exposure. No need to have the shutter to do that.

There is another anoying bug, when using a R lens of small aperture, the
display in the viewfinder dims out as it believe that the camera is in a low 
light situation. When using a VarioElmar 14-50, the digilux operates OK but
when using a Tamron, at f5.6, the view finder information (speed, exposure
scale, etc) is hard to read in fll light.

Please, if you happen to have the Firmware 2.0 Lumix, could you check these
points?


I have sent the description of this to a contact of Leica France.

Any bug with the latest DMR Firmware to report?


Good Day
