Graafber Posted January 2, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear people, I am the proud owner of the Leica m 240 and 246. I bought an EVF2 and I noticed that the camera react very slow, it looks that the camera is freezing a few seconds after taking a picture. Is this a software problem or is there a way to avoid the freezing? I don't use the evf often but sometimes with f. e. 90 mm it can be easy, for sure in dark situations. Thanks in advance for your reactions. Regards Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted January 2, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2016 Make sure you push the finder right into the shoe for true electrical contacts. Just one suggestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 2, 2016 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2016 few seconds is a lot, there is a drag between shots, but not a few seconds on mine. I shoot Raw plus B&W Jpg so the display is B&W. Also I don't use advanced metering, which slows things down. Also if you have preview of shots this will slow things down even more. Is the same happening when you use Live view? If not, then I suspect the EVF might be faulty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted January 2, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2016 It's probably nothing more or less than the AUTO REVIEW function, by which the camera allows you to inspect the image you've just taken. This will appear in the viewfinder, since that has been selected as the electronic viewing device, rather than the rear screen. If you don't want it, choose the AUTO REVIEW option in the menu - you can choose the duration of the post picture review, or, if you prefer, turn it off altogether.

Graafber Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted January 2, 2016 Hello Masjah, thanks for your reaction, "stupid" from me, but is was indeed the preview. I never use the lightview, that's why I did not came on the idea. Anyhow a lack of a good second remain, not to avoid I suspect. Taken fast pictures I have probably to do without the EVF2.

MRJohn Posted January 3, 2016 Share #7 Posted January 3, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Masjah, thanks for your reaction, "stupid" from me, but is was indeed the preview. I never use the lightview, that's why I did not came on the idea. Anyhow a lack of a good second remain, not to avoid I suspect. Taken fast pictures I have probably to do without the EVF2. A second is normal. It's okay when there is time for composing (but then the LV LCD is often good enough) but I find it severely limiting for people/street/music when many things can happen during this one second and the next shot is gone before it was taken... Seeing what is possible with the SL I hope that the next M will have a much snappier implementation and resolution, either as an internal solution (preferred by me) or as a module. Focusing advantages seem to be the number one reason why M owners migrate to the SL (if they do), see: (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/255085-m-owners-your-2-main-reasons-why-you-purchased-sl/).

If you don't want it, choose the AUTO REVIEW option in the menu - you can choose the duration of the post picture review, or, if you prefer, turn it off altogether. I have the camera set to "Hold Shutter Button" for preview: it flashes the image taken on the EVF and it automatically returns to the view as soon as the blackout is over, the net effect being a "freeze" of the scene of about one second. I prefer this very much over the blackout, as it disturbs my flow of shooting less. In many cases, when the scene does not change much in one second, the blackout goes virtually unnoticed. If the scene changes quickly, one is no worse off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
