i just took a picture and my M8 shows me for am moment black and white stripes at the diplay. The picture itself was OK, and later i could get these "Barcodes" again. But i also havent seen them before ? Any ideas what this was ?

I also had those, but only once so far. Never before updating to the last firmware. I had a feeling, at the time, that I was quicker at the release button than I use to. In that case, it has something to do with the startup routine. However, I am not perfectly sure about this.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Same here - but the picture itself is ok.

Seems to be some problem with displaying the chimp review.

[j. borger]

yep ... a firmware glitch

Had them too a few times, mine have been red and black horizontal stripes.

Several times - usually the first shot after switching on, and you can always view the photo okay afterwards.

 

Bug - not a problem I think.

I've had the red and black fine horizontal stripes once. This came up as the autodisplay came on. Picture was fine. Scared the hell out of me. Fixed M8; 1.092 firmware.

Got the red/black stripes on the very first shot after the firmware upgrade. Until then everything had been working OK. Thought "Oh my why did I have to do that so fast..." Five hundred shots later and it hasn't happened again!

First batch M8 not fixed.

Good luck

I had these once since the firmware upgrade.

Also first pic after turning on, but I had to remove the battery to get rid of the "barcode" view.

Once I reinserted the same battery everything was fine.

[Guest WPalank]

Funny, I used to have them before upgrade (1.092). I haven't seen them since upgrading.

[blado]

I've had that once or twice, as well. After 1.092 update...

It probably sounds redundant but I too have had the "zebra" screen twice since updating to firmware 92. It seems like it was on the first shot preview after turning on the camera. Previews after that are ok and the particular shot is ok. Sounds like a bug in the firmware since this is the only problem I have had with my M8 cross my fingers!!!!

Hi,

 

Is there somebody who knows possibilities to get a barcode on Zeiss ZM lenses for the M8?

 

Thanks

First of all welcome to the forum.

 

This thread relates to a problem reviewing images shot with the M8. A firmware bug causes the screen to show red/black or white/black stripes / venetian blinds / bar code pattern rather than the shot image.

 

There are several threads that covers coding a Zeiss lens as a Leica counterpart for use on an M8. Use the search feature.
