afewimages Posted November 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, i am new to this forum and new to leica.I have a new D-lux 5 compact. I already own a Nikon D700 and some Carl Zeiss lenses. I did some test shoots with mu Leica and saw some strange things in Lightroom. See the photo: This is a 100% crop from lightroom, standard develop settings. Notice the grey pattern in the background. All of my tests have this and all the images looks unsharp. I did a reset of the camera but with no results. It is clearly no noise. Shot was taken with iso 80. Second one is a 200% crop so you can see it better. Any help please! Thanks http://www.afewimages.com/images/L1020230.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted November 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 2, 2011 Afewimages, Welcome to the forum! I've had a D-Lux 5 for a couple of years and I haven't noticed artifacts like yours. The pattern suggests high frequency interference and could be caused within the camera by inadequate shielding of electronic components. Perhaps you should take it back to your dealer and ask him to repair it or replace it. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenPatterson Posted November 2, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 2, 2011 I agree with Pete. Unless you took these images while sitting in a police car with high power radios in operation I would say you have a defective camera that needs replaced.

wda Posted November 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted November 2, 2011 Welcome to the forum, Afewimages! I would take/send the camera back to your dealer and ask for a replacement. You should not be fobbed off with a potentially long delay while the camera is returned to Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewimages Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks all, i did thought there was something wrong. The repair man from Leica here in Holand told me that it is just noise but i dod not believed him. I send your opinions to him, Steven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted November 9, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 9, 2011 i've seen these 'canvas texture' artifacts on rwl files from the v-lux2 when cropped and underexposed, then pushed in pp. it is possible they could be due to the natural limitations of the sensor? still, send the files to leica or show/give them to your local leica service centre and ask for comment.

ph33lix Posted November 14, 2011 Share #7 Posted November 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very peculiar artifacts indeed! Do you see it in your camera's preview at 200% zoom as well or only after processing in Lightroom? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
