fotografr Posted April 16, 2007 Share #41 Posted April 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't understand why there are so many differences between cameras. I just took over 200 shots today and I have never seen the venetian blind effect, have never had a lock-up, and I have never had the skipping effect with the right-left arrows. My camera was #260 to be built and was purchased Nov. 8. I hope your knuckles are sore from knocking on wood after making that statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Roberts Posted April 16, 2007 Share #42 Posted April 16, 2007 On that colour shift, Scott is right about AWB still being messed. But also remember that older flourescents vary temperature many times in the course of a minute. So you might be running into that as well (one of the reasons I hate older flourescents!). The Chuck E. Cheese thing looks like that shift. Slow shutter, no flash, I'd bet...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjohn Posted April 17, 2007 Share #43 Posted April 17, 2007 The strange thing about this camera is that since the lock up, the camera has been working fine without any of the problems I was experiencing before. I have even tested the turn it off in the middle of saving a file and that works ok too. I didn't reinstall the software so I don't know what changed.

You are beyond pixel-peeping for stripes and banding if you're shutting off the system in mid-write! When you report "and that works ok too" regarding this power off during write, do you mean the write completes, or just that your rig doesn't lock-up? Either way/result, this doesn't cover battery power fault... but I would not suggest you prove this You have that QA affliction, no? rgds, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't duplicate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted April 17, 2007 Share #46 Posted April 17, 2007 Yep problems. I'm copying and pasting from a post above "I also have the: 1. wheel problem 2. Ocacsional skipping of photos while browsing with the left/right arrows 3. Venetian Blind" and adding 4. Review shows previous image and yes, something seems changed in the exposure. Or is it me?

Peter Branch Posted April 17, 2007 Share #47 Posted April 17, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) While taking a series of photographs yesterday the review, which is set to 5 seconds, suddenly just displayed black and white horizontal stripes which did not switch off after 5 seconds. I turned the camera off and then on again and the problem did not recur. I had taken approx 200 pictures between loading 1.102 and this fault. No other problems. The filters plus 1.102 software have brought about a very noticable improvement in picture quality. The tendency to overexposure seems to be better controlled as well.

wlaidlaw Posted April 17, 2007 Share #49 Posted April 17, 2007 Only problem I am getting is the control wheel skipping. However, I should like some advice on setting manual WB. Let us say I am intending to use a coded 35mm lens (35 Biogon coded at last - yipee) with a UV/IR filter. Should I do the manual WB with the menu set to coded +UV/IR and with the filter fitted on the lens or should I remove the filter and do it lens detection set to on but with no filter or lens detection off. Does it matter? At the moment, I am using WB set with my non-coded Elmarit-M 90 and lens detection off, irrespective of which lens I am using.

Philinflash Posted April 18, 2007 Share #50 Posted April 18, 2007 strange orange (very warm) color balance in one shot and normal color balance in next, again of same image, same settings, same lighting taken seconds apart. Anyone else experiencing these problems? __ Yes, I have had the same problem. AutoWB intermittent fails. PK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinflash Posted April 18, 2007 Share #51 Posted April 18, 2007 Russel is the venitian blind the horizontal band. I will send this to leica today I have had that, too. Bands are horizontal; image is lost. Also, I have had occasions (in 1.1) where the camera just died completely. It may have occurred after a time-out shut down; I can't be sure. The cure was to remove the battery and put in a new one. Then, everything was fine. This happened on two successive days with two different batteries, so I do not blame it on the battery. Finally, the "old" battery (the one in when the shutdown occurred) had a pretty good charge and did not require a fresh charge. PK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted April 18, 2007 Share #52 Posted April 18, 2007 FYI got a note this morning from Leica i did send in those 4 issues we are having. They said these are what they are working on and any way to induce them on a regular basis would help. A lot of issues when working in firmware is these bugs are not consistent to detect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhusick Posted April 18, 2007 Share #53 Posted April 18, 2007 The firmware does NOT correct the cyan corners when using the WATE and a B+W 486 UV/IR filter. See the thread "WATE filtered" for details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericperlberg Posted April 18, 2007 Share #54 Posted April 18, 2007 While taking a series of photographs yesterday the review, which is set to 5 seconds, suddenly just displayed black and white horizontal stripes which did not switch off after 5 seconds. Just for the record I'm still getting the venetian blind effect and its brother, the red venetian blind effect, occassionally. I'm also set to 5 sec review. I wonder if the length of time the review is set for has anything to do with it. Anyone get the "VB" effect with another setting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelderfield Posted April 18, 2007 Share #55 Posted April 18, 2007 Getting the image skipping during PLAY with 1.102. That's it for now. Only had the camera for 5 days so far. Jonathan Elderfield Photography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyspedden Posted April 18, 2007 Share #57 Posted April 18, 2007 Russel is the venitian blind the horizontal band. I will send this to leica today Guy I also got the "venetian blind effect" but mine looks like a series of alternating black and white stripes on the LCD and it takes a couple of seconds before it disappears. However the actual file, when displayed in PLAY mode is just fine. I never saw the problem with 1.092 and it is only occasional with 1.12.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted April 18, 2007 Share #58 Posted April 18, 2007 Thanks Woody yes that one there trying to fix along with the Play skip. There working on about 4 or 5 right now. trying to isolate them is hard or at will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the "red" venetian effects and only sometimes because you have choosed to show highlights in review mode. And highlights are usually displayed in red color.
