knightfall Posted July 3, 2015 Share #101 Posted July 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Received mine today. Ordered from B&H on 6/10. But no joy for me, I am getting system error when turn on the camera. It beeps and shows the following message on the rear screen, can't do anything further, if I restart the camera, the same thing happens over and over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

piran Posted July 3, 2015 Share #102 Posted July 3, 2015 Media issue? Try a different card preferably a known good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfall Posted July 3, 2015 Share #103 Posted July 3, 2015 Media issue? Try a different card preferably a known good one. There is no card inside, tried with card as well, no go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piran Posted July 3, 2015 Share #104 Posted July 3, 2015 Different battery? Further (re)charge battery? Insert battery and/or media a little more positively? Try looking for a hidden bootup sequence: eg power on with other buttons pressed (like menu) also include a 'long press' variation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappde Posted July 4, 2015 Share #105 Posted July 4, 2015 Is the SD card formatted? Try to format the card in an other Leica and use then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfall Posted July 4, 2015 Share #106 Posted July 4, 2015 I got that error the first time I started the camera. But after I turned it on again it went away. Unfortunately it is not going away, that's why I shared it here. SD card was formatted in a LX100, i tried different brands to rule out the sdcard.

piran Posted July 4, 2015 Share #107 Posted July 4, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) My Q is still on pre-order, though I do have an LX100 available. Citing same error with no card present rules out a media issue? Remove battery and ensure every piece of clickable button or switch functionality is not 'stuck in'. This might lead to the present non booting up happening. 'System Error' is vague and suggests a situation with which the OS cannot cope. Stuck POSTs / BIOS issues can be worked around in some designs with a long press (10sec) of a button or combination of buttons on computers, you might cajole the OS that way.

thighslapper Posted July 4, 2015 Share #108 Posted July 4, 2015 Did you charge the battery ???? Even though it comes with some partial charge and may allow the camera to switch on there may not be enough to run all the start-up procedures ......

bernie.lcf Posted July 5, 2015 Share #109 Posted July 5, 2015 Yes, the battery is half charged because Li-ion batteries must have some charge when stored. However, interrupting the startup sequence should not cause any harm. It will simply continue the next time you put a fully charge battery in it. I am afraid, there is no point talking about it here. Leica Customer Care is just a phone call away and they have the only relevant answer for you. I am afraid, unless there is some other solution, you will have to ship this to Leica or your dealer for replacement/repair (whatever the rules are in your country). Sorry about this.

d0c0m0 Posted July 6, 2015 Share #113 Posted July 6, 2015 Order #1 submitted to B&H on 06/12. Still waiting ... Checked with B&H customer service rep today, no updates ... Order #2 submitted to Leica Bellevue (in USA) on 06/18, I'm so-called #15 in the list. Checked with the store over the weekend on 6/28, there should be a batch coming in this week. But I was told I'm not on this week's distribution list.... So, still waiting ... Got a surprise phone call from Leica Store Bellevue (in USA) on 07/03 telling me that they had a Q available for me to pick up. Quickly picked it up from the store without delay, bought a 49mm 3 stops ND filter, unboxed, put on a battery and glass screen protector, ordered a Thumbs Up on line etc .... I am ready to go take pictures with the new Q Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VVJ Posted July 7, 2015 Share #115 Posted July 7, 2015 Did anybody other than 5one7 receive a camera from Leica Store Miami? I ordered on 6/10 and have not yet received a delivery date... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0c0m0 Posted July 7, 2015 Share #116 Posted July 7, 2015 Glass screen protector available for the Q now I bought an extra GGS LCD screen glass protector from ebay for my Leica D-Lux 6 (now sold), found it fits perfectly on the Q LCD. The GGS glass looks almost identical to the Q LCD even with the black bar on the left as well. The GGS glass is OK when using touch screen functions such as Touch Focus and scroll photos for display. It is much cheaper than the Leica's original screen protection film. I also preferred glass protector than film e.g. I dropped my M9 a couple of weeks ago. The Giottos glass broke its corner (already replaced) and the camera was not damaged at all. Not even a dent. Lucky me ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynoldsyoung Posted July 8, 2015 Share #117 Posted July 8, 2015 hallelujah....Samy's in LA found a Q for me. Rod in the phone order department did an amazing piece of work to make this happen. Overnighted it arriving this afternoon! I am, at this point, a VERY happy camper!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYBORA Posted July 8, 2015 Share #120 Posted July 8, 2015 Does someone know if there is any Q available in Germany right now ? A friend has only 3 weeks left before leaving Germany. Frankfurt Leica says 4 - 6 weeks and Berlin / Hamburg Leica doesn't have any yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
