An odd M8 error.


Me Leica!

I saw a used M8 in a camera store here recently. I asked to have a look at it, and I took a few shots. Initially, no problem; from the (admittedly not very good) rear screen I was able to determine that the focus seemed reasonably accurate, etc.

 

Then something strange happened. I raised the ISO to 320 to shoot stopped down a little. The first shot I took, the picture did not display on the rear screen. Instead, it just showed the picture number (for instance, L33422. DNG) in the middle of the screen. Nothing else. I tried this several more times with the exact same result.

 

Anyone ever seen something like this, and have any idea what it is? It's a shame, because the camera was in quite good condition and had a grip attached, for a not unreasonable price.
