Guest user62134 Posted April 28, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted April 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) This D Lux 5 is 6 months old, in recent weeks, several snap have turned out black ? Phoned Mark Brady at Leica. Changed cards ,etc. Waiting to hear from him. Yesterday I downloaded 62 pictures into the Mac, 23 were completely black frames? Fully charged batteries, different SanDisk cards. Still black. Â Any ideas will be most appreciated. Â Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucek Posted April 28, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted April 28, 2011 Could you have bumped the select wheel to a different exposure mode? Have you looked at the EXIF data to see what the shutter speed and/or aperture were? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest user62134 Posted April 28, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted April 28, 2011 Bumped wheel, No! Checked other data: Shot in RAW, My color mode,0 EV, f3.3, 1/400.11.1MB Â 62 downloaded, 23 were black. I just spoke with B&H, and Leica. Collective guess, D Lux 5 is dying a slow death. The 1st one I purchased___my wife borrowed and I purchased a*2nd one. Then 5 more as gifts. This one is the only having problems. Damn it. Just today, the right side of the LCD is turning gray. Â Yes this the Leica*web site, but for P&S__I will use my older Canon G10 any day. Had it re-built by Canon last Fall___like a new camera. Shooting in RAW, the Canon is much faster in transfer then the Leica, Not putting down Leica, been shooting them since 1948. But even Leica*it would seem can make mistakes. Thank you for suggestions, Â Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest user62134 Posted April 29, 2011 Share #5  Posted April 29, 2011 Pete,  Go get some sleep ! Bill and Kate will soon be married. Goober ! lol  No, not hardly a coal miner, but that is very funny ! Since my early post, spoke with Leica*again, and the "top dog"__at B&H and I am getting a new camera. No, I did pull out my _____pistol__nor audit by IRS___(the tax man)__spoke in a kind fashion. They recalled just how bloody good looking I am, and are sending a new one ASAP. (good looking, that is funny) they think just a camera gone bad. And will update me when it arrives at the factory. Like all my other cameras, treated with TLC__but it just died. I'll keep you posted. coal miner? The family would have had a stroke and died, opps they actually did long ago, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
