BruPri Posted August 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Auto Review gives one the options of: Off, 1s, 3s, 5s, Hold, Zoom, however, when I set it to Off, I expect no image freeze and it appears to be no different that the 1s setting. Anyone else experience this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Hi BruPri, Take a look here Leica XV Auto Review. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
K-Photo Posted August 11, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2014 It is a simple bug. Quite annoying sometimes, too. And if you make a picture using the flash, the auto review switched to "off" will work and no picture appears on the display. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruPri Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted August 11, 2014 Just got a call from Leica technical support and this is a known issue, probably fixable with a firmware update, no update on the horizon though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 13, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 13, 2014 I suspect a good workaround (this works on all other Leicas I've tried) is to half press the shutter button, instantly cancelling the auto review. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Photo Posted August 13, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 13, 2014 I suspect a good workaround (this works on all other Leicas I've tried) is to half press the shutter button, instantly cancelling the auto review. It is not working really well this way. If you press instantly after capturing the image the shutter half way again, different behaviors of the camera can show up. With Autofocus the image freezes/pumps because of the AF and with manual focus it happens that the displayed image stays on as long you press the shutter half way. There is the better workaround sometimes just to wait until the image disappears by itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted August 13, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) With AF I have found a half press after shooting cancels review and AF works immediately again ....... consistent and with no glitches. With manual there appears to be an unavoidable 0.5 sec delay even with cancelling by half shutter press or turning the focussing ring .... but I'm not sure it's much of an issue as you are hardly likely to be taking shots and refocussing in manual that rapidly anyway. In both modes you can take a second shot instantly, whatever the display is doing ...... so in fast moving situations I just keep both eyes open and fire away depending on what the non-viewfinder eye is seeing ........ framing and focus will not have shifted that much in the intervening time., and at least you don't miss the moment. These are situations where you really need an optical viewfinder with digital overlay ..... ..... oh ...... and the main problem is there is NO 'Autoreview Off' choice on the menu .....

But it is just not working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruPri Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted August 13, 2014 I agree that it's a glitch while the writing to the card. It's a basic bug aside from the intended Auto Review settings, even at "Off" To prove this, set your camera to single exposure, click a pic, then immediately press the shutter half way as you pan (left or right, doesn't matter) ...because it's still writing, camera freezes mid pan as well.
