M8 Shutter Err Fault

On Sunday my M8, which has worked flawlessly for two months and nearly 700 exposures, simply delivered a "Shutter Err" in the viewfinder and "Shutter Fault" in the display. I tried reinserting the battery and SD card several times. Eventually got it to work. Turned it off put it in the bag. The next time I turned it on. It started all over again. And continues to work intermittently. It seems that if I bypass S and go directly to C it works with slightly more reliability; but still not dependably. Has anyone experienced this Shutter Fault problem?

It happened to me twice when my M8 was used for about 300 shots. Both times it was the first shot after I pulled the camera out from the bag. Both times I just truned off power and turned it back on, the camera was back to normal. That was in early February.. I didn't do anything about it and wanted to wait and see if the problem would come back. 3000 shots later, it didn't re-occur. I am keeping my fingers crossed. By the way, I did the frimware upgrade soon after it was available.

For the past week (after very light use), my M8 is pretty much 100% shutter faults. I can fiddle with it for about 10 minutes and get it to work again, but once it is turned off, nothing but shutter faults. I emailed Leica USA about it. They ignored my inquiry.:mad:

Jeff call leica repair in NJ ask for Robert Fisk.

 

 

Back to the OP what firmware is in the camera. I might suggest reloading the firmware as a first try

Mine did this, to the point where I could take no photographs at all.

 

Leica US promptly replaced it under warranty. I was told it was an electronic fault.
