horry sheet... ok so last time i posted about my few weeks old Leica X Vario lcd screen have been gaining some dust inside it.

 

and now i have stumbled on totally purple image out of it. is this a sensor failure...? oh man... why Leica why... :(

 

it only occurs once though, i took about 500 shot that day, but it bothers me now, the sample was cropped for a better look at that weird wavy texture on the whole image, more noticeable on the face

 

anyone experiencing this on Xs series? is it memory card failure or was it the sensor?

There are few other things i would say minor quirks, one day i found the shutter speed dial error as i scroll through it manually but the information screen tells me im in auto setting :confused: solved by restarting it

 

The other day i was just checkin my XV in my room, its pretty dim. I didnt aim it at any direct light source, and its on manual setting, All of a suddeny my lcd blast with a purple light of some sort... Wut tha...

 

So i investigate further by aiming down on the floor and shot under exposed the setting was iso 3200, wide open on widest focal range, starting from 1/125 and increasing it halfstep all the way to 1/15

 

And i discovered purple light both on left and right bottom corner it looks like some sort of flare, its subtle but noticeable up until 1/30 (its under exposed by 1 step)

 

On 1/15 it disappear...

 

I dont know maybe its all common with the digital thing, i started photography as a hobby through the analog era, i used to shot with FM2 when i moved to digital camera i bought lumix lx5 it never let me down, and it does had ugly vertical purple flare too on video but never on photo mode.

 

All these quirks happens randomly on rare occasion, but judging the price tag and the duration i have used it, i doubt it reliable to use for the next lets say 3 years. My lx5 had been abused so badly for the last 2 years, been dropped more than once, sensor was blast through lightings from music scene countless time, took flight many times, and the only thing that it gave up was the flash. I aint planning to abuse my XV though lol

Its actually a very strange issue others have had, myself included. Only had it happen once and a quick restart and re-compose made it go away.

 

I only had it once, a purple picture. I remember I switched the camera off, took the battery out of it for a minute, inserted the battery again. Never occurred again.

 

Best
