alred Posted January 26, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted January 26, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am sure this question has been answered on the forum but I can not seem to find it. From time to time the center focus point will go from green to white,lighting conditions don't seem to matter,by removing the battery seems to fix the problem for a while.I never know when its going to do it...it is quite annoying.Is this a know issue,or do I have a problem with my camera. Thanks so much. Â Best to all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Hi alred, Take a look here X2 focus problem. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Manashu Posted January 26, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted January 26, 2013 I'm not sure if this is the same problem. This one (not regularly!!) occurs when I want set the white balance using the menu for changing WB. When the camera measures the "new" white it freezes and you have to remove the battery to start over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted January 26, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted January 26, 2013 I have not experienced this phenomenon on my X1. If there is a focusing problem, you do not get focus confirmation light-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alred Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share #4 Â Posted January 27, 2013 To be clearer pressing the shutter halfway I get a green confirmation square, then the green focus point turns white when I attempt to take the picture shutter will not release. Taking out the battery out for a moment will correct the problem until it decides to do it again. Â Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andystac Posted January 27, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted January 27, 2013 Just a guess but maybe try reinstalling the firmware Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspect it isn't focusing quite on target in some cases. I wonder if the two problems are related.  Brent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Albertson Posted March 8, 2013 Share #7 Â Posted March 8, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've had that happen with an X2 a couple of times, but I never had to do a batt pull to clear it.Since I switched to the facial-recognition focusing (inspired by John Kennerdell's post The Online Photographer: The Liberated Camera: Part II) I haven't experienced it at all. It's pretty agressive about locking on and tracking faces, a bit "Top Gun"-ish ("I've got a tone! I'm taking the shot!") that way, but I've had a higher percentage of keepers with it.

My mistake, apparently!  Brent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alred Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share #9 Â Posted March 14, 2013 An update to my earlier post....after reinstalling the firmware twice it seemed like it was focusing ok,but no it stared again in good light (outdoors) then started working ok again on its own.So now my Leica X2 is off to Leica Camera NJ we shall see what they say.In my opinion a camera with this price tag should not be doing this,love the camera though.

JDFlood Posted March 16, 2013 Share #10 Â Posted March 16, 2013 Mine does occasionally turns white. Reason unknown. I just assumed it was a mode I did not understand, never stopped the camera from working properly. JD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone at Leica can tell us why this happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alred Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share #12 Â Posted March 22, 2013 I have received a reply back from Leica NJ concerning the focus problem,the following work is to be performed 1. Adjust shutter release 2.replace or clean all switches. 3. adjust auto focus 4.check and adjust for good working order.Also the following parts to be replaced, X!-X2 control element and X2 circuit, Top cover. So hopefully this will take care of the problem,I am to receive the camera back in early April. Best to all AL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alred Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #13 Â Posted April 9, 2013 Not to leave everyone hanging I wanted to give the results of my Leica x2 received April 4 from Leica. It is like a totally different camera,start up snappy,auto focus now quick and dead on,no more green focus points turning white. Leica did an excellent with this problem,you can read above to see what parts were replaced.Best to all. Â AL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatsby Posted April 22, 2013 Share #14 Â Posted April 22, 2013 That is great to hear, my X2 has been doing the same thing, so off it goes for service. Hopefully a success story as well. Thanks for posting the follow up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
