Is anyone else having an issue where the M is set to Advanced in the Light Metering Mode. The camera is turned off and when turned back on, the shutter makes a reset sound? No photo is taken. When I take the M off of Advanced and set back to Classic, there is no sound. I have the latest firmware installed. Thanks!!

Of course. The advanced exposure methods are read off the sensor, so the shutter has to open.

The classic mode is read off the shutter curtain, so it stays closed.

Thanks JAAPV.... just want to make sure that no one else is seeing the same problem. I was told that early M240's had an issue where the shutter would reset - no image taken but the sound. Supposedly there was a fix by Leica to prevent this. However, if you and others see the same thing, it must be just a normal function.

Issues and problems often arise for complicated reasons, and it must be a complicated reason not to have read the little black book. I'm sure people will have lost them in tornados or floods, been eaten by the dog, used to prop up a short chair leg, etc.

 

But if you successfully unpacked the little black book this is mentioned in a bullet point paragraph on page 181 under the topic of Advanced light metering,...... just saying:D
