p.1 #1 · New firmware 2.5.1 for the M11, M11-P, M11-M, and M11-D cameras
Leica has released Firmware 2.5.1 for the M11, M11-P, M11-M, and M11-D cameras.
Below are the details of the update:
⸻
New Features and Improvements
1. Compliance with EU Radio Equipment Directive
Firmware 2.5.1 brings the M11 system in full compliance with Article 3.3 of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU). This update also includes several security-related improvements.
2. Improved WLAN Security
After performing a factory reset, the camera will now generate a new, random WLAN password. This ensures that previously known credentials cannot be reused.
3. First-Run Protection
To prevent unauthorized remote access, PTP pairing will only be available after the connection setup wizard has been completed. This adds an additional layer of security during the initial camera setup.
4. Secure Formatting of Internal Memory
A new option allows the internal memory to be securely erased by fully overwriting stored data, rather than simply deleting the file index. This is especially useful for removing sensitive data before transferring or selling the camera.

Bug Fixes
Battery Status Warning
• Fixed an issue where the camera would display a low battery warning even when the battery was sufficiently charged.
