Panasonic Suspends Lumix DMC-LX3 Update

Panasonic has pulled the previously announced version 2.0 firmware update for the Lumix DMC-LX3 with the following statement:

“The download for the firmware update program to Ver.2.0 has been temporarily suspended, in order to make sure the reliability of the firmware, more specifically in case of the use of some newly added functions on Custom shooting mode. The download is expected to be available back again around the 20th Oct.

For the users who have already updated LX3 to Ver.2.0
The camera which has been already updated to Ver.2.0, can be used without any problem after the reset of the camera by selecting the [RESET] in Setup menu. Please note that all settings except the clock setting will be reset to the initial settings. To keep the current settings, please make sure to write down the settings on a note in advance to reset the settings.”

Quite strange, but supposedly an improved update will be offered around October 20.
