jaapv Posted September 17, 2014 Share #281 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, the way it is measured is as follows: Put a stopwatch on your laptop screen.Focus the camera on the screen. (all on the same table obviously) With one hand depress the shutter button and turn the switch to S, at the same time, as synchronized as possible, tap the space bar with your other hand to start the timer. The camera will photograph the startup time repeat ten times, discard the fastest and the slowest time and average. It should be under 2 seconds with a 16 Gb card.

CheshireCat Posted September 17, 2014 Share #282 Posted September 17, 2014 So you keep complaining on the LUF rather than trying to fix your issue. Strong conviction indeed. If I were sure my camera came back better than it is now, then I would send it immediately. The fact that no one has got it fixed for the freeze issue... AND The fact sometimes the camera comes back in worse conditions (e.g. misaligned RF due to not very careful handling by shipping companies), or does not come back at all (i.e. stolen)... AND The fact that it takes forever for Leica to "service" a camera ... make me think that sending it in does not make any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 17, 2014 Share #283 Posted September 17, 2014 Well, if it is stolen that will earn you a brand new one by insurance.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundraline Posted September 17, 2014 Share #284 Posted September 17, 2014 Have a new high-speed card. Will try it out on my M240 and report back in a few days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 18, 2014 Share #285 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) If I were sure my camera came back better than it is now, then I would send it immediately. I see what you mean but it won't come back worse anyway and why complaining if you do nothing to fix the problem? I would try at least a fast card to begin with. I can recommend Sandisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s (8GB and 64GB), Panasonic Gold Pro 95 MB/s (8 GB) and Toshiba Exceria 95 MB/s (16 GB). FWIW.

analog-photo Posted September 20, 2014 Share #291 Posted September 20, 2014 Anybody else with a faststarting camera. Start up time about 1.5 sec. SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB, 95 MB/s. Have never had any issues with lock-up (or anything else mentioned on this forum...) for the seven months I have used the camera. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdannn Posted September 21, 2014 Share #294 Posted September 21, 2014 Selective reading does not help having a discussion. I said: if there is a problem they can pinpoint. And yes, I and others are able to use the M240 with or without LV, EVF,C, S or any other way it was designed to without lockups. That is exactly the difficulty of finding the answer to or even the source of your problem. Interesting, my camera used to freeze. I switched to a Transcend Card and I cannot make the camera freeze. When I put in the other cards, the camera freezes. Go figure; that's just what's happening to me. So if the 240 has some kind of bug, the Transcend Card eliminates the problem for me at least. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! You have found the winning robust combination for your M240. Why mess around? Simply enjoy your photography! Good luck! For my M9 a Panasonic Gold card did the trick!

Hi, I ordered the Transcend Card from the Leica Store in Miami, Florida. They offer 2 sizes, 16 and 32 gb. They will ship to you. Also available from Amazon for less money I think.
