w2010no Posted July 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) My Q hangs up when I want to switch it off. The Red dot logo is freezing at screen then not turn off, must take out battery for restart. Happened 3 times already.

lecram Posted July 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2015 I have noticed once the same problem . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted July 21, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 21, 2015 Often have this happen on the T. Leica needs to hire some better software engineers! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalfx Posted July 21, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 21, 2015 what kind of SD card are you using? did you format in camera? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likealot Posted July 21, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 21, 2015 Often have this happen on the T. Leica needs to hire some better software engineers! You can say that again. Glitches like this should not happen on a £3k camera 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w2010no Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted July 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) It looks, if the aperture blades hang and do not close then the camera will be freeze at turning-off screen. Leica must fix it in firmware update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted July 25, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 25, 2015 Then it maybe an issue with your camera. Mine has never shown this behaviour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjohn Posted July 25, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 25, 2015 I haven't seen this behavior either. Try a full reset and see if the issue is still present. That combined with a restart should result in the firmware doing a fresh load. If that doesn't cure the issue it is most likely a hardware issue.

sturkel Posted November 11, 2015 Share #12 Posted November 11, 2015 Just wondering how long have each of you had the camera, basically is this a early fault or something that has started after a period of use, weeks, months etc. I have had cameras hang up if you try to shut down before write to the card is done, or not formatted in the camera. Just as a caution always format a card each and every time you install into your camera. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers you mean we should formatte the card every time we put it into the camera? and should formatte the card on computer, not on the camera? if like that, the Q has formatting function on camera, it is not meaning Edited November 11, 2015 by cafecacao Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturkel Posted November 11, 2015 Share #14 Posted November 11, 2015 I have always made it a practice to format the card in the camera prior to use. It is not uncommon to use a card among several cameras, as I do this for a living. I do not see any reason to format a card in the computer as this does not sure the same file organization as required by the camera. Place card in camera, take photos, take card out and load photos to the computer, place card back into camera and format once again. Very simple indeed.

pop Posted November 11, 2015 Share #15 Posted November 11, 2015 Simple but for some situations not effective. As soon as there is the suspicion that something might be amiss with the card, you should format it on your computer, but not with the built-in formatting functions but with the utility program which has been provided by SD card association, the SD Formatter. The reason for this recommendation is that an SD card does not work like a magnetic storage device. As soon as there is the possibility that individual blocks of storage might be damaged, the software in the camera or the normal function of the operating system will be unable to recover those blocks and to make them usable again. Both the software in the camera and in your OS rely on the blocks working correctly. Difficulties storing images or - even more so - removing the power supply while the camera might be trying to write to the card might be caused by problems of this kind. Even worse, interrupting the writing in this way may introduce this very problem. Switching the camera off while it is writing to the card usually is ok as the camera will only shut itself down when it is done writing.

marchyman Posted November 12, 2015 Share #16 Posted November 12, 2015 I think (but do not know for sure) that the camera is only doing a "high level" format, i.e. writing the label and directory structure to the card. I'm basing this guess on the speed upon which the camera takes to format a card. Also, formatting an 8G card takes about the same amount of time as a 32G card. There is something called the SD Formatter made by the SD Association. You can get it here: SD Card Formatter - SD Association It is available for both Mac and PC. The "Overwrite Format" option for my 8 GB card took minutes, not the seconds that an in camera format takes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesL Posted November 12, 2015 Share #17 Posted November 12, 2015 Does formatting the card in camera reset the numbering of the image files? A reset would destroy my file management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunkafunk Posted November 12, 2015 Share #18 Posted November 12, 2015 I was able to get a Q to lock up within the first 15 minutes of playing with it in a store, and I believe it was on power down.. I think they have a decent number of firmware bugs that will hopefully be sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted November 13, 2015 Share #19 Posted November 13, 2015 Does formatting the card in camera reset the numbering of the image files? A reset would destroy my file management. I don't think so, but I've not done comprehensive tests. I have formatted multiple cards both in and out of the camera and the camera is still incrementing the file number from where it left off.

jaapv Posted November 13, 2015 Share #20 Posted November 13, 2015 No camera I know of has ever done that. It would be a first for Leica. 99.999% sure that the file numbering remains sequential when changing cards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
