Did it today...no sweat....
Were you taking images using RAW? Even when I take RAW, I find there is a delay between images with low speed large capacity SDHC cards.

I have just dropped panasonic an e-mail but I'm sure they will take forever to write me back and I need to revert to the old firmware asap. I'm leaving for a 10 day trip to China in less than a week! If someone has the old firmware (1.0 I would think) and is nice enough to send it to me I would be greatly appreciated.
Hey rawfa, have you tried formatting the SD card? if not try that, maybe the memory card is fragmented?
As for getting 1.0 firmware. this is not really possible, as Panasonic never released it to the public, although in saying that Panasonic technicians may have this firmware stashed somewhere.

Odd - the upgrade does not appear to have changed my between shot times or write times, either with raw or jpeg.

Very Strange indeed....I actually notice somewhat faster write times in Raw....
also, in low light, the camera focuses better....it was good before but gooder now,,,,

Wow, very interesting, is it possible rawfa that ur camera has gone faulty coincidentally after the firmware update?
Is it possible for you to re apply the new firmware into the cam, maybe the firmware did not fully install correctly?
Wow Streetshooter, good to see low light focus has improved. I personally MF in low light, and if I do use pre AF, I disable the orange illuminator as that brings attention to the camera and lets people know I am taking images.

Mazor,
Same setup here but I still want to know what the camera can do just in case.

indeed for me on 1.0 firmware the LX3 in low light sometimes does miss the target especially with the illuminator set to off. Has this significantly improved with the new firmware in this scenario?
Was thinking if I wait long enuf, someone may havk the d-lux 4 firmware to work on the LX3, hehe

Rawfa, did u manage to reflash ur camera with the same firmware again? Maybe you need to do this, or doa full reset of all setting after the firmware is updated?
I am terribly scared of updating my LX3 now, as I like the fast response I am getting between RAW shots being about 1 to 2 seconds lag max between shots with burst off.
