Rudyfull Posted June 8, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Please could anyone advise me about an issue with the LEICA M240's shutter. The issue is related to the LiveView mode. The Shutter does not open during LV or for the sensor cleaning procedure. On Filming mode it would not open either hence recording black… The camera is working fine in range finder mode and during long exposures the shutter opens fine for the requested exposure duration. The screen is fine as well, as it displays shots taken on range finder mode... Could you please advise me on any procedure to follow to sort out this issue if there is any. Otherwise I guess the camera needs to be sent to Solms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookeye Posted June 8, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2014 Welcome to the forum! A pity it is trouble that brought you here. I haven't seen or heard of this particular kind of problem before. Hopefully sombody will be able to say what the problem might be. Have you tried a camera reboot (taking out and re-insertting the battery) and are you using a fully charged battery? It might also be worthwhile trying a camera reset (on the last page of the menu options). Are you using an EVF or simply the camera screen when trying live view? Best of luck, HP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyfull Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted June 9, 2014 Hello HP! I have tried reboot, reset and all this with a charged battery but no luck! I even changed the SD card... Shutter remains closed on LV and Video mode... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookeye Posted June 9, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2014 Sounds like a job for somebody with a spanner and a screwdriver. I am afraid you'll have to send it to Leica. I just hope it won't take too long before you get it back The last thing you could try would be to download and reinstall the FW. But I don't know if your. camera will accept it unless it is an upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
