cliffp Posted February 1, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Firstly, apologies for the title - it was supposed to be "Vertical Line in Image". Something went wrong and I wasn't able to correct it. I recently sent my M9 to Solms to check for a potential corrosion problem (on the advice of Leica Uk after I had failed to get the sensor clean). Leica HQ said there was no corrosion and returned the camera having cleaned the sensor. I did a test shot of my computer monitor to test for dust (it was dark outside) and discovered a vertical line in the image (see below). Is this a case of dead pixels? Welcome, dear visitor!

jdlaing Posted February 1, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2016 ISO 640 perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffp Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted February 1, 2016 The line is always in the same place in the image. If it was due to noise (caused by the higher iso of 640), wouldn't any artifact be randomly located? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffp Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted February 1, 2016 I've looked at another image which was captured at iso160 and the line is there in the same place. BTW thank you to the person (moderator?) who corrected my messed up thread title! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted February 1, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2016 Looks like a dead or hot pixel in which the entire line goes dead. It will have to be remapped by Leica, I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaren Posted March 6, 2016 Share #6 Posted March 6, 2016 Friend of mine has the same issue a year ago, needed to be reset by Leica itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlinman Posted March 6, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 6, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) jdlaing and Ciaren are right. CS has to remap the dead pixel. I had it 2 times with my M240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIV Posted May 3, 2016 Share #8 Posted May 3, 2016 Does Leica charge for a remap like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted May 3, 2016 Share #9 Posted May 3, 2016 Not at Leica USA. That I'm aware of. It's been a while since I had an M-9 done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhanebeck Posted May 6, 2016 Share #10 Posted May 6, 2016 Thanks for posting! This is very helpful. I saw a vertical line on my M9 very recently as well and was wondering what causes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
