dic2arol Posted June 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) hi all. My M9P only 2 months old, But I found a red line at the lower right corner of the sensor when ISO 400 - ISO 1000 I tried SANDISK CLASS 10 32GB, LEXAR 600X 32GB, SANDISK CLASS 4 8GB, but The same situation. The strange thing is,When I remove the SD CARD, only use the body cache as an observer, the red line was disappear. what's problem with my m9p? the Circuit board? or the sensor? Battery? Thanks All !

akiralx Posted June 28, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2013 Contact Leica, sensor to be remapped I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted June 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2013 Screen shows a JPEG image which either maps it out or disguises it or compresses so it can not be seen. You can have Leica map it out or have photoshop do it. Definitely send it in if it is under warrantee. Out of warrantee, you decide. I would wait until there are more and I get tired of fixing them or something else goes wrong. Leica has top notch lenses, the only RF camera going, but the electronics are three generations back, slow and buggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted June 28, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 28, 2013 Leica has top notch lenses, the only RF camera going, but the electronics are three generations back, slow and buggy. I would agree to that, except I'm not sure about 3 generations back. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dic2arol Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted June 28, 2013 Thank you for your comments, I would adopt, but one more question: my m9p still warrantee, is this problem is very serious? mapping can thorough to solve this problem? I am very contradictory, because I do not want to miss the opportunity to replace the sensor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 28, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 28, 2013 Most users with this problem have reported that the repair was free of charge even if out of guaranty. It has nothing to do with the generations of electronics, it is simply cosmic radiation damage and can occur on any sensor. Normally the sensor will just be remapped, only if the remapping, added to the sensor mapping that was done when the camera was built, exceeds a certain tolerance will the sensor be replaced.

vdb Posted June 28, 2013 Share #7 Posted June 28, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Every one of my digital Ms has developed this...some more than once...including my MM recently. Always free and quick re-map...once the sensor was replaced also free. Turnaround time for my MM recently was 5 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoarFM Posted June 28, 2013 Share #8 Posted June 28, 2013 Happened to me once. Out of warranty. I paid for it, I forget how much but it wasn't free, they also gave it a general checkup and RF adjustment for the same general fee. But at least I didn't make the giant mistake of buying an M240 that Lord Bridges http://diglloyd.com/blog/2013/20130628_1-LeicaM240-lockup.html has deemed a piece of erratic, unreliable junk. I think I'm going to send him an offer of $4000 to take that load of junk off his hands.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrooman Posted June 30, 2013 Share #12 Posted June 30, 2013 Had this exact issue 7 months ago on a "new" M9 out of the box at high ISO. Returned it promptly. This is a known issue with early M9's I am told, but rather rare. B&H took it right back and refunded me promptly. B&H is excellent for that reason. Found another new M9 elsewhere and it has been amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianpsu Posted July 22, 2013 Share #13 Posted July 22, 2013 i just got the M 240 8 days ago and i have the same problem!!! teardrop.... http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p729/christianpsu/1_zpsbfb2500d.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueweed Posted July 22, 2013 Share #14 Posted July 22, 2013 I got that same line as well as previously reported on my m240 at higher iso. I really dont understand why this problem presist on both CMOS and CCD models. Someone in Leica needs to seriously look into this problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Hong Kong is a small market but Schmidt Marketing told me I was the first one with this problem with the M 240.... weird.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica should get the Universe to switch off cosmic radiation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianpsu Posted July 22, 2013 Share #17 Posted July 22, 2013 The original post mentioned this happened on a relatively "high" ISO. for me, it was across all pictures regardless of ISO (even on low ISO such as 200). teardrop again..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted July 22, 2013 Share #18 Posted July 22, 2013 This happened on my old faithful M8 I thought about sending it back etc etc then I just let lightroom map it out.. One day, I noticed it had completely gone, vanished, even direct from camera the strange red line was simply NOT THERE! Still to this day it works faultlessly. So I guess its another vote for the Cosmic Radiation because I have no other explanation. Like a crazed fool I tried cleaning the sensor a million times so maybe the prolonged use of the sensor shifted it.. Anyway, I wish you all the best getting it sorted, Leica will deal with you nicely Im sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
