Automatic ISO on the M240?

[Freakscene]

I’m reviving this several years old thread to ask:

Did Leica ever implement a firmware update that brought the “good” auto iso feature to the M 240?

Yes. Firmware 2.0.1.5 released in June 2014 for the Typ 240 fixed this.

You'll eventually grow out of the auto iso phase. 🙂

THANKS for the information Marty - just what I wanted to know.

Actually, with the Leica SL and M lenses, I find it very useful to set the Camera to "M" and Auto ISO, whereby I can set whatever shutter speed and aperture I want to acheive my pre-visualized picture, and then let the ISO fall where it may within the range of 100-6400. The 6400 is that good.

I use this for example at family gatherings and other events where I want to concentrate on the people and not on photography technique. I can walk from the brightly lit garden to the relatively dim kitchen and snap away at, say 125th at f/2.8 and the pictures hang together visually.

I used to do just that with my M9 too. And now I know that it's possible with the M 240.

I use auto iso every working day I think its great especially with aperture priority.
