Turning focusing ring moves M9 frame ?

Movement is normal - it corrects for parallax (the fact that your eye and the lens are seeing the world from different locations - and more so at close distances).

 

The movement as you describe it is wrong, but may be your terminology. The lines should be moving down and to the right as you focus CLOSER (i.e. - move the lens out away from the camera).

I've never noticed this, but today I find my M9 frame line will move when I turn the lens focusing ring. When focusing moves closer, the frame moves towards up/left. Focusing farther, the frame moves towards bottom right.

 

Is this normal? or my M9 has problem?

 

Adan is right, but it also depends on what you have been drinking! ;)

Well, I am on the other end of the globe. :)

The Australian/NZ (and Antarctic) models M9 are built upside down for people who walk on their hands and use the camera with their feet. Northerners buying cameras from down under need only rotate the camera 180 degrees before using it.

I can never figure out how you people down there don't just fall off?

 

Pete.

We just hold on upside-down with our feet.

On his last visit even David Atteborough though we were all a little Batty! :eek:
