daytrader Posted March 18, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted March 18, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey guys, Â Loving my X1 but had a quick question. When shooting outside and really sunny I hear this clicking noise like the camera is adjusting to the bright light. Hope that makes sense. Anyone know why the camera does this? I've handled 3 X1's including my current retail and they all do the same thing. Just curious why it does this. Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduardoho Posted March 18, 2010 Share #3 Â Posted March 18, 2010 if you are outdoors: what are your settings? ISO? f stop at A? what T? A or settings? if iso is set high 800+, w/ both t & f at A, then X1 is furiously trying to step down under bright light perhaps...and also what is your AF settings: spot? multi? 1/11 point/H? I don't know cauz I pre set my camera to the lighting conditions even before I power on, a feature which I have been enamoured with since I got my X1.

daytrader Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share #5 Â Posted March 18, 2010 Hi Guys, Â Thanks for the quick replies and explanation. All the X1's I have used so far have only been on iso 100 f2.8 and 1 point. Hope that helps. I think one of the the previous posters hit the nail on the head. Under really bright conditions the x1 furiously makes a clicking noise to step down. All the d-lux 3.2megapixel cameras from 2003 use to do the same thing. Great camera regardless.

Cirrus Posted March 21, 2010 Share #6 Â Posted March 21, 2010 The lens diaphragm is constantly opening up and closing down, depending on the light. I guess this controls the screen brightness. But with on screen manual focus (the enlarged area), which I find useful and accurate, it means that you're sometimes focusing with the lens stopped down. This is another thing that Leica could probably change in the software. Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
