Tritz Posted April 11, 2014 Share #61 Posted April 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just wanted to add that I, too, have problems with my M9 since upgrading. Before, it was like 1 in a 1000 shots that had the problem. With the new firmware, it's about 1 in 30 shots. I just lost several good pictures just because the camera suddenly acted up. There it was, in front of me, a spectacular image. I pressed the shutter again and again and nothing happened. 5 seconds later, the camera finally decided that it would stop acting stupid, but that great image, it was already long gone. This would never have happened with a analog Leica. Nor would it probably ever happen with any other digital camera. Any professional photographer would probably have brought such a camera back to the shop this very instant. This is very unsatisfactory. "The decisive moment" my ass. I hope that many more people report their problem here in this forum to put some pressure on Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted April 12, 2014 Share #62 Posted April 12, 2014 Just have the thing repaired. Only a few cameras do this, it is clearly an individual fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2014 Share #63 Posted April 13, 2014 Just have the thing repaired. Only a few cameras do this, it is clearly an individual fault. So you're saying it's a combination of firmware and a faulty camera that causes this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berth Posted April 13, 2014 Share #64 Posted April 13, 2014 So you're saying it's a combination of firmware and a faulty camera that causes this? I think he would have posted that if that's what he meant. He didn't. I've got a new M-E with the latest firmware, 1.196, and have not experienced the problem reported. Does it appear out of nowhere, or am I good to go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 13, 2014 Share #65 Posted April 13, 2014 So you're saying it's a combination of firmware and a faulty camera that causes this? Just faulty camera or corrupted firmware. I would tip on a faulty shutter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john neal Posted April 15, 2014 Share #66 Posted April 15, 2014 Well, thanks to Herman, who sent me the earlier firmware version (1.175), but when I tried it in my M9-P, I got a message saying that "this is the worng software for this camera", so I'm stuck on 1.196. I always thought that M9 & M9-P were the same firmware? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulev Posted April 16, 2014 Share #69 Posted April 16, 2014 Same here, two camera's the same problem. Surely this looks like a firmware problem ( or am I this "lucky" ? ) :-) If it's possible, I'd like to recieve the previous version as well. veluart(at)gmail.com Thank you Rgds Velu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsydaus Posted July 5, 2014 Share #75 Posted July 5, 2014 I don't own said camera but Leica really need to address their firmware shortcomings across the board. This is unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
