castelletta Posted March 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've heard the DPReview recorded noise for the M8 shutter release but I think the sound of my brand new M8 seems nothing but ..... worst shutter noise. Please note the strange delayed (sort of double) metallic shot at 1/125. It's just the same noise of your jewel or something very different? Here you'll find the noise recording: http://www.robertocastelletta.com/Leica_M8_shutter_sound.mov Thank you all for help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sirvine Posted March 29, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 29, 2007 Sounds fine to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venkman Posted March 29, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2007 Yup, sounds about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted March 29, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2007 Sounds like my camera Roberto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyspedden Posted March 29, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 29, 2007 Sounds like my camera Roberto. Sounds like both of mine. Remember you are not only hearing the shutter but also the motor which cocks the shutter after firing. Woody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andit Posted March 29, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Roberto, I did not listen to the sound that DPReview posted, however the sound of your M8 sounds just like mine too. I seem to recall from users who have had their M8's for quite some time, that the shutter sound changed after the upgrade to 1.092 firmware. That would explain as to why the older recording sounds different. Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
castelletta Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted March 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great note Andit! It does make sense because when I was at my Leica shop taking the first shots I didn't noticed this strange behaviour. And when I came home and applied Firmware update 1.092 the noise seemed different and strange. So the Firmware update has changed also the way our beautiful creature shut her eyes?

fuchs Posted March 29, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 29, 2007 Seems completely normal 1.092 shutter noise to me. And indeed, the dpreview recording makes me remember the sound before the firmware update (1.09) Best, Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
castelletta Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted March 30, 2007 If it's so I must admit that I prefer the old shutter noise. It was more synchronous and more pleasant, less metallic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
