MarkP Posted September 21, 2014 Share #21 Posted September 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) 1 freeze on 1.x firmware on my M240 during the course of 10000-15000 images. I wouldn't consider that a design flaw. Have you made 10000 images on the M-P yet? What SD cards are you using? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Hi MarkP, Take a look here No freezes with the M-P, design failure of m240?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
CheshireCat Posted September 21, 2014 Share #22 Posted September 21, 2014 none of these. the only time I have had the occasional freeze is when removing the EVF physically from the camera while it is still in use Thanks. Which SD card brand/model ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuminatus Posted September 21, 2014 Share #23 Posted September 21, 2014 I am currently using a Sandisk Extreme Pro (95MB/s) and it has a very short start up time. They also make a memory card with 250MB/s. Does anyone know if M 240 supports this speed? I am wondering if there is any benefit in using this in improving the overall performance. Zero freeze and zero lockup since the purchase of my early sample in May 2013 (8K to 9K frames) but i don't use LV/EVF much and i chose 95 MB/s cards very soon to reduce startup times essentially.

georg Posted September 21, 2014 Share #25 Posted September 21, 2014 - I had two lockups in the first 6 months - no EVF but lots of LiveView - with Panasonic 16GB Gold Pro - No lockups since new firmware with Toshiba Exceria HS 32GB Difficult to say if it was the new firmware or SD-card. I would never use cheap SD-cards and I don't buy Panasonic Gold anymore since their production was outsourced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted September 21, 2014 Share #26 Posted September 21, 2014 Zero freeze and zero lockup since the purchase. I don't use LV/EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanYWM Posted September 21, 2014 Share #27 Posted September 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine did freeze twice after about 2800 shots. I rely on the EVF very often. SD card is the Extreme Pro 64GB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indergaard Posted September 21, 2014 Share #28 Posted September 21, 2014 What SD cards are you using? SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 64GB SDXC mostly. I've also used a SanDisk 95MB/s Extreme Pro 16GB SDHC sometimes, but not much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted September 21, 2014 Share #29 Posted September 21, 2014 These have been my standard use SD card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted September 22, 2014 Share #30 Posted September 22, 2014 15k on one on the very early 'lug returns'. I have successfully locked it up twice by frantically pressing multiple buttons trying to change settings to catch a fleeting image ..... but I would count those as user generated errors. EVF and liveview used at least 50% of the time. Nil otherwise in nearly 18 months of use ....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsydaus Posted September 23, 2014 Share #35 Posted September 23, 2014 The camera should not freeze under any circumstances. Doing so clearly highlights a deficiency with the firmware programming, which in turn would be caused by a lack of expertise in programming and testing the firmware, which in turn would be caused by a lack of proper project management and/or managerial buy in. From what you are describing, they are using an interrupt model for many of the cameras hardware inputs (which of itself is not surprising or uncommon). But interrupt programming can cause many issues if not done by someone with significant expertise of all the potential issues associated, such as race conditions, blocking etc... I just hope they learn from this experience. 15k on one on the very early 'lug returns'.

algrove Posted September 25, 2014 Share #37 Posted September 25, 2014 The camera should not freeze under any circumstances. ….. I just hope they learn from this experience. I haven't yet because before they can fix he issue they have to admit the problem exists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 25, 2014 Share #38 Posted September 25, 2014 Leica would not have issued a firmware update for the purpose of fixing the issue if they did not admit it. As clear as i recall no beta tester seems to have suffered from any freeze or lockup problem then but i may be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
