My 'T' Fails the commonsense test.


Recommended Posts

I have 1.31. It seems that if the preview is off and you shoot dng + jpeg there is still a preview. You can shout when the preview is ok but there is no live view.

 

There is still one but not as long as 3 seconds, at least not in my case, more like 1 second.  I am shooting a fast card though, the Sandisk Extreme PRO 280 MB/s.

Precisely what I said in my posting. There is a delay during save which looks like a one second preview, but probably is just a delay. 

(regardless of firmware and regardless of preview setting)

This seems to be a download delay problem when shooting DNG as well as Jpegs. And the only way out of what I still reckon is at least a three second delay, certainly as far as I can see is by not shooting DNG's as well, which in my view is quite unnaceptable and as I said at the start " My T Fails The Commonsense Test" (So if any one out there is interested in buying a little used Leica T, 11-23 Lens,  and Visoflex etc I think it will soon be for sale as it has failed my most basic test!).  Don

Sorry ...... but there is either something wrong with your camera or you have some strange menu setting that is causing this .......

 

I have just taken a sequence of shots of my dog in the garden .......

 

1.5 secs start up time.

 

EVF view within 0.5 secs of bringing to eye.

 

Review appears instantly in EVF after taking shot

 

Depressing shutter halfway immediately clears this and allows next shot .... and so on ...... the delay is a fraction of a second and hardly noticeable ...... took 6 consecutive shots .... WITH review after each in 3 seconds TOTAL. 

 

I would strongly advise you to try another camera before dumping it. This is NOT normal behaviour ......

Don, have you tried a high speed SD card? As others have suggested, it does seem to be the answer. It solved the problem for me. I am now using a Lexar Professional 600x (90MB/s).

With my camera set to record DNG + Superfine JPG and with auto-review set to off, I still see the image flash up on the screen after taking a shot but now it is there for a split second rather than the three seconds that you're seeing. Blink and you miss it. I would rather off meant off but it's not a problem any more.

Thanks Euston. And yes I have tried several high speed cards, but maybe still not the RIGHT high speed cards. I will buy and try a Lexar Pro before selling up. Don

Just a udate with thanks to everyone who made useful suggestions. I have now tried several faster SD cards, and as others have advised, got the delay down even when shooting high res jpegs and DNG's to about a second, which though not perfect is a vast imptovement, so thank you again to all who responded. Don :)
