Guest Gilgamesh Posted November 29, 2013 Share #21 Posted November 29, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I ran my FileRecovery 2013 software (great bit o' kit by the way) and Lo! there were 748 orphaned files - images. This is in addition to the ones I can actually view in PlayBack on the M240 body. All Leica files, 'cept some are from September and have a different file name, and they could not be viewed in-camera nor in Adobe Bridge or in Mac's Finder window. I do not quite comprehend why these files become orphans (orphaned?). I bought a year's license for the FileRecovery software a while ago, but all files are backed up at the time of shooting = no new files I did not know about, so the card was re-formatted in-camera and we're back to a 2 second start-up time. A lesson for us all perhaps? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Hi Guest Gilgamesh, Take a look here Start-up time. Anyone got a longer wait than mine?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
01af Posted November 29, 2013 Share #22 Posted November 29, 2013 A lesson for us all perhaps? Let me guess: To make room for new files when the card is full, you used to delete the old files rather than formatting the card, didn't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted November 29, 2013 Share #23 Posted November 29, 2013 Mine is around 1.5-2 secs and doesn't really change with whatever card I use (highest Gb card I have is 32) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted November 29, 2013 Share #24 Posted November 29, 2013 Don't moan. The Sony A7/A7r wundercamera is 2 seconds as well. If Sony can't get it any quicker then I doubt Leica can ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 29, 2013 Share #25 Posted November 29, 2013 I have just managed a startup time of 0.4 sec. On a Sandisk Ultra II….512MB! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gilgamesh Posted November 29, 2013 Share #28 Posted November 29, 2013 … don't jest. I had my new MacBookPro with the fancy screen stolen at the end of the shoot - this was on Wednesday lunchtime, 13:30 as the train drew into the station. To cut a long story short, the thief is behind bars / in custardy, awaiting trial after I applied some quick-thinking triage to the situation, the taxi driver who took the thief's fare made a citizens arrest on route, taking him plus one accomplice (?) to the local police station. I make my statement, and left at 7pm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bephoto Posted November 29, 2013 Share #29 Posted November 29, 2013 I have 2 sec startup time with Lexar 64GB 600X Class 10. 8GB Eye-fi Mobi takes 3 sec Sandisk Ultra 8GB class 10 30mb/s less than a second never had slow startup issues, I always format in camera, but occasionally use Lexar's Image Rescue 4 format option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted November 29, 2013 Share #30 Posted November 29, 2013 ...Sandisk Ultra 8GB class 10 30mb/s less than a second... Surprising with such a slow card with respect. May i ask how you measured this time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyalf Posted November 30, 2013 Share #31 Posted November 30, 2013 The start up-time is longer than one missed photo shot for all measured times. Those claiming otherwise are not photographing people. Sorry about being grumpy, but this is my single worst performance fault for missing oportunities. The camera should NOT be the limiting factor.

lct Posted November 30, 2013 Share #32 Posted November 30, 2013 Agree but there is a way to avoid this. Just disable sleep mode w/o forgetting to turn the camera off after shooting and/or to bring one more battery in your bag. Works so well that i've created a special profile ("FAST") for that.

Sorry about being grumpy, but this is my single worst performance fault for missing oportunities. The camera should NOT be the limiting factor.Those claiming otherwise simply turn the camera on before starting shooting and leave it on. Battery endurance is pretty good anyway.

lct Posted November 30, 2013 Share #34 Posted November 30, 2013 Wakeup times are as long as startup times more or less. Disabling sleep mode is the only solution i'm aware of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 30, 2013 Share #35 Posted November 30, 2013 Using autoshutoff is a habit I acquired because of the rather dismal battery life of the M8/9. I never used it on any other camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
