mmradman Posted August 10, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 10, 2013 So what is it, dust, shotgun dents?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwrangler Posted August 10, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 10, 2013 On first view it looks like very huge spots of sensor dirty. Try cleaning them off. For a HowTo look at the FAQ. If it can't be cleaned away these might be defects on the sensors top layer. In that case contact your Leica customer care and have the camera serviced. If it's the sensor Leica will most probably exchange it for free. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you If the sensor is defective and the cover glass is separating Leica will replace it at no charge, even if the camera is out of warranty. All you need to do is contact Leica customer service in Solms or the local distributor in the country where you purchased the camera. Either can handle this for you.

M. Valdemar Posted August 21, 2013 Share #8 Posted August 21, 2013 It looks like you scrubbed the sensor very hard and destroyed it. Maybe they'll take pity on you and fix it for free, or maybe they'll charge you $3000. Consider it roulette. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenPatterson Posted August 21, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 21, 2013 It's hard to say what happened just by looking at the image. If the photo was taken right after swabbing and the fluid had not dried it "might" look like that. The white spots could be areas where the cover glass has delaminated from the sensor. While it is never guaranteed that Leica will replace an out of warranty sensor for free they usually err on the side of the customer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted August 22, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2013 The white spots are dust or defective sensor. The darker area around the perimeter looks as if a very wet cleaning went under the sensor cover glass. Same thing can happen if lens cleaner is put directly on the lens, it runs around the edges and goes under the element. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
