I had my Leica Q sent for servicing, and now the proximity sensor for EVF does not work correctly. I have the display settings EVF - LCD set to "Auto", which should switch to EVF mode when I put the camera closer to my face, and switch to LCD when I move it away. However, the camera gets permanently "stuck" in the EVF mode no matter the position. The only way to switch it to LCD is to set the display settings to "LCD". I find it hard to believe that this wouldn't be noticed by the QA of Leica servicing (it was 560€ after all...) I reached out to them for clarification but it might take a while before I get an answer. What's worse is, that I had the camera serviced end of December, but then I went for traveling for 3 months (without the camera), and only noticed the issue now that I have an upcoming shoot this weekend, and I wanted to make sure everything is set up properly. Anyone had a similar issue by any chance? I only found references to this happening if you have a protector screen on the EVF, which I don't. I do have a screen protector on the LCD. -
Similar to the problems reported in other threads (here and here) my M11 (new late Sept) no longer works with Visoflex 2. The M11 no longer recognises the presence of the EVF and the EVF controls in the menu remain greyed-out when either EVF or EVF Extended have been selected and yes - I have gone through all the checks and actions associated with the issue. The Visoflex 2 works perfectly with my M10M so unfortunately (and most annoyingly) a four month old camera costing £7500 will have to be returned to the UK dealer. Will ring them in the morning (Wed) to discuss the issue.

Hi all, I've done a bit of back-pedalling, looking for a similar question here, but having found none, I'm somewhat confident this hasn't been answered before. So, hopefully, some of you may be able to provide an answer. What I'm trying to achieve: Using the EVF, I'd like to be able to use my right thumb to touch the LCD and focus; ideally using Touch AF + Release mode. Naturally, I've tried setting the CL to Touch AF / Touch AF + Release, tried EVF-LCD Auto / Extended, but, of course, to no avail. Am I missing something or is Touch AF limited to LCD mode only?

Hi, I’m new to the Q2, can you help me with a quick question please? I've noticed that the EVF gets slightly darker on longer (e.g 1/30) exposures when I half press the shutter button. The actual exposure looks more like the EVF before I half pressed the shutter. The smaller the aperture the more noticeable it is. Any ideas? thank you. -
just got my Q-P back from the repair center, they are telling me that everything is fine with my Q-P, but, are your images in camera also looking like this? See the red stuff? somehow its not on all images... please check your Q and tell me.

I have been using an EVF with my M-P (240) and 24mm lens. Sometimes, it gets frustrating when I experience the blackout after tripping the shutter. Even with continuous shooting. I'm wondering if anyone has a preference for using the brightline finder (for the 24mm) instead of the EVF? Thanks!

The only item that has attracted my attention in the launch of the new TL system is the EVF Visoflex Type 020 and I believe that the Leica M system deserves an updated version of its EVF with higher resolution, sensor for the eye (to switch it on/off), a tilt and swivel movement for more convenience....so Leica I hope this one is coming Your thoughts / input please... -
Dear all, I've noticed recently that when I set EVF-LCD on Auto the EVF doesn't work when I lift the camera to my eye. When I lower it, the LCD works fine, so the proximity sensor isn't an issue. Selecting EVF only mode I can see my subject. Then when I select EVF extended mode EVF is black again. In LCD mode the LCD screen works fine. If my memory doesn't err this appeared after upgrading to FW v2, however it's still there after upgrading to FW v2.1... I could not find similar topic in the forum, so should I take her to the doctor? She's only 11 months old... Thank you in advance

Hi, I was recently taking some photos in Arkansas, on a hot and humid day. The temperature was around 35C and the humidity was about 60%. I was using the EVF with a 21 mm. I had been shooting for an hour or so, when the EVF started staying black after I had taken an image. The only way to get the live view back was to turn the camera on and off. This behaviour stopped after I returned to a cool air-conditioned building. I saw this behaviour twice. Things I checked at the time: - The EVF was properly seated. - I tried removing the battery and replacing with another. Things I did not check at the time: - The Live View directly on the back of the camera (I feel foolish in hindsight for not having done this). Anyone else seen this?

Hi all, I've been having a problem with my M240 where when attaching any lens using a Voigtlander Leica screw mount to M mount adaptor, the lens is not recognised as being connected, and as such, I cannot use Live View, EVF or video functions. It shoots photos just fine. I've attached my Voigtlander 12mm, shot a number of frames, however video does not work. The camera has an error that reports 'No lens attached' or similar and refuses to go into Live View mode. I contacted Leica, and they told me to set Lens Detection to OFF and try again. Same problem. At this point they told me to send it in for repair. Seeing as I've only had it a very short time, and, being in Australia, this is a pain (and a great expense) whichever way I try to do it (either sending to the authorised repairer in Melbourne or sending straight to Solms) I'm somewhat reticent to do so. Obviously I may end up having to do this, but I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone had any similar experiences or possible solutions? My only thought is that my adaptor is quite old, and perhaps a newer one (a coded one?) may have a different design and work better in this situation. Has anyone else by any chance experienced this issue?

I'm excited about the new M, but there's one thing nagging me. How bright will the electronic viewfinder or the live view screen be if you are shooting with a small aperture or with a neutral density filter on the lens? Does the camera compensate for this? If not, the through-the-lens business would be of rather limited usefulness. There's still the rangefinder, of course, but it would be nice to employ the TTL view for general photography when using wide-angle lenses or long lenses.

I been thinking about getting an M8 and keep saving money for a lens, or to get an X1 now that prices of used ones has become more reasonable... But my main question is regarding the optical finder... Basically therr is no way to know what the camera is focusing, so considering it is a digital machine is there a possibility Leica (Panasonic) could make an electronic finder for it?? Just wondering. Regards, Ricardo

Hallo, nach vielen Jahren DSLR bin ich vor einiger Zeit auf die D-Lux 5 umgestiegen und habe so nun endlich jeden Tag meine Kamera dabei Im Sommer ist es aber ziemlich beschwerlich mit der D-Lux zu fotografieren, auf dem Display sieht man nicht besonders genau - wenn man vorher den Sucher einer DSLR gewöhnt ist ... Ich habe gelesen, dass der Pansonic Viewer EVF-1 auch passt, habe aber auch gelesen, dass die Olympus Viewer besser sind. Weiß jemand ob der Olympus VF-3 auch mit der Leica D-Lux 5 zusammenarbeitet? Gibt es andere Tipps? Vielen Dank im Voraus!
