New evf for the M240. Coming.

Judging from how often discussion of Auto ISO centers on minimum and maximum shutter speeds and not on the fact that it should work with manually-selected shutter speeds, I'm still not sure everyone's even aware of the problem now.

 

:confused::confused:I wonder where you were when this was discussed in a rather heated way. Actually I do not recall any emphasis on minimum and maximum shutterspeed.

Thank you for sharing your info.

 

Dear John, I was one of the first ones complaining about this issue, while some of you were happy taking pictures of your house pets... Sorry to being rude. I was calling the factory nearly every single day. Even the officials weren't aware about this issue. It took a long time for Leica to develop the software. But at that time these words came from top Officials from Leica and I had to share it all with friends that felt the same way as I did. So I will keep my mouth shut till June 30th. When the Embargo date ends for the new software.

What ya got against taking pictures of our pets? Hey, I love my dog pictures. You some kind of pet hater? Will Rogers said that when he died he wanted to go wherever dogs go when they die... me too.:)

 

Here is one of them from Grandville Island, Vancouver BC Canada.

The sentiment has been expressed on this Forum before:

Very interesting - you seem to have got the release date right! Hope that the new EVF news is correct really want to believe it is true ;-)

I am really unhappy with the way the M(240) renders dog fur. The white balance really needs improvement. I hope they are working like dogs to fix this.

... and rather smart not to anticipate tech details about.... a "new evf" doesn't necessarly mean "an evf with improved tech specs"... :o

 

Haha, totally true !

That will probably be a Praseodymium-plated with Python-inserts version of the same obsolete hardware ;)

Reread this thread today and I see it is after 30 June now. So what do you have to say?

 

Hans' reference to June 30 was not to a new EVF but to the firmware update that did change auto ISO. So in defense of Hans, he was right on auto iso and I really hope he is right on a new M 240 EVF, which I think he said was going to be at Photokina.

I took a look over what I think was the "CPU" Diagram for the M240 Image Processor and it seemed like the EVF was driven from a "Dedicated Hardware Block" that was not capable of offering a higher resolution. Therefore it would seem that a new Processor would be required rather than a faster one. The newer processor does exist ... and is rather impressive (faster and larger buffer for instance) ...
