Soft advance causes unwanted 2nd exposure?

Recommended Posts

Anyone experience this? With M9 set to Soft Advance, the shutter will sometimes fire a second time as I'm releasing the button. It never happens in Standard mode.

 

Has happened once or twice, not more. There are several (8 if my binaries are ok...) combinations of soft/normal + discreet/normal + review-while-holding-button/no-review-w-h-b, and some of them can lead to unexpected effects in some cases. Find one that suits you, stay with it, and learn what might happen, and you may find a predictable behaviour.

 

BTW, any problems of this kind are prone to be aggravated by the use of continous drive...

This will happen when you press the shutter advance button all the way down. The soft release option is designed to fire the shutter on the slightest depression of the advance button. Then let go, and there will be no 2nd shutter activity. Try the same but press down all the way, and you 'll note an unintended 2nd shutter release.

I cannot replicate this on my M9 nor my Monochrom1. I would say it is anomalous behaviour.

You may be right Jaap. I've always have my M-E advance work this way (on soft) and thought it was normal, until I discovered this (old) thread. I'm so used to it that I'll leave things alone-it may change to "normal" in the future with new firmware I suppose. Nothing is perfect.
