Leica heeft even geleden voor zijn Q-compactcamera's versie 3.0 van de firmware uitgebracht. Deze camera's hebben een fullframebeeldsensor met 24 megapixels aan boord en zijn voorzien van een Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH-objectief. De lijst met veranderingen van deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
Version 3.0
- Favourites Menu: Users can now enter and save up to 15 settings for faster access in a Favourites Menu.
- Power Saving Mode: If required, the camera can now be set to switch to Stand-By Mode after 10 seconds.
- Extended functions for the Fn button: Even more options can now be selected for programming the multi-function button.
- User Profiles: Profiles can now be imported from and exported to a memory card.

- EVF/LCD setting options: This menu item can now be assigned to the Fn button.
- Settings for the electronic shutter: The electronic shutter can now be set to permanently active.
- DNG files: The processing speed of DNG files in the camera has been increased.
