donalrey Posted November 23, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted November 23, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello all, Â I apologize if this has been mentioned before. I tried searching the forums but could not find anything. Anyways, recently I've been having some problems with my thumbwheel being extremely sensitive. As an example, I would barely touch the thumbwheel while previewing a picture and it will start zooming in. Is this a problem other people are experiencing? If so, is it something I should be worried about? Â Its getting a little bit colder here (40 F) and I never use a case and I noticed that once I'm indoors or somewhere warm the problem goes away. Â Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Â PS. I love this camera! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawatkin Posted November 23, 2010 Share #2 Â Posted November 23, 2010 Yes, I also have this issue and it's an annoyance... I was wondering if others had noticed over-sensitivity. I mean, I don't use it to review photos very often, but I've had it jump around (you'll know what I mean if it happens to you) when trying to change the ISO setting and my thumb brushes the thumbwheel. I use the up/down buttons to set it, but I guess my thumb brushes (but doesn't twist the thumbwheel, no clicks or anything) the thumbwheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted November 23, 2010 Share #3 Â Posted November 23, 2010 This has come up before, sorry I don't have a thread link, but there is at least one thread about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwF Posted November 24, 2010 Share #4 Â Posted November 24, 2010 It is definitely more sensi than the one on my M8. I figured this was due to its smaller size but also that I would learn to deal with it. maybe a firmware update can cure this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocho Posted November 24, 2010 Share #5 Â Posted November 24, 2010 I'm about to return my X1 to Leica for a similar problem. Whenever I go into the menu the ridged thumbwheel becomes hyper in that the menu display jitters around making it almost impossible to select anything. This has happened intermittently since I received my X1 in March and I decided to bit the bullet and get it fixed before the warranty runs out!

fotografr Posted November 24, 2010 Share #6 Â Posted November 24, 2010 Same problem here. And I thought I was the only one. I don't know if there actually is a fix, but if there is I'd probably send mine in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc4237 Posted November 25, 2010 Share #8 Â Posted November 25, 2010 i don't have that problem on mine... probably a defect... alot of problems mentioned in this forum, e.g. sensitive knobs/wheels/peeling skin/lose battery cover, are not present in my x1... probably due to handling during shipping?
