I hade Leica M8 since 2005 and now bay a M9P in Dec 2012 and have had problem "black missing frame". I have change SD card from 32 to 8 ScanDisk Extrem and it is better but still problem mostly with Leica 24D flash. On M8 I just use aperture priority (A) with the flash and if the flash not was reedy the M8 will take a picture with longer Shutter speeds but yet a picture.

With my M9P, if a use aperture priority (A) many time get a black missing frame with a file size like 386 kb and shutter speeds 1/180 and in light room it is written "flash activated". If I use Flash sync speed I got the same problem with black missing photo at 1/180. Is a problem with the electronic in M9??

 

I have change to a new Leica 24D flash from the shop and also a new batter for the M9 the SD card is formatted in the M9 with “overwrite”

Actually, it has worked out well in the end. Rather than wait 4-6 weeks for a 8 week-old camera to be repaired, Richard Caplan and Leica are exchanging it for me. Quite gratifying as I am not expected to see another Christmas and 4-6 weeks is a significant proportion of my remaining lifespan. Impressively, I have unexpectedly outlived an M-series Leica camera. It's a miracle!

It's quite sad to read this in a thread so old and there is something rather poignant seeing the OP's once active Flickr photostream remain online. Drew Leavy apparently died in July 2011.
