kenf Posted June 13, 2016 Share #783 Posted June 13, 2016 Is this optional behavior? FW Update 1.0.0.4 is now available for the M-D.

jcraf Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share #784 Posted June 13, 2016 Is this optional behavior? No, once the new FW is installed, that's it. There would be no way for Leica to offer options, as the camera has no menu, apart from the ability to update firmware and apply exposure compensation.

Of course there's a way to apply options - read the M-D manual. It could easily be appended to the date and time setting functionality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, wait, that's an M240 isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Bedford Posted June 14, 2016 Share #789 Posted June 14, 2016 10 minutes sounds pretty good to me. I found myself missing shots because of my 2 minute setting on my M 240, so I changed it to 5 minutes and I routinely half-press the shutter when I get going to wake up the camera and I haven't had an issue since changing it to 5 minutes.

Someone knows the problem, ist this a bug, or a mistake? This happens not always. Still are not updated the Leica M-D Manfred Halo, mine is like that too especially soon after I power it on. It always works if I press it slowly and gently without rush, so I wouldn't call it a glitch. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclefan Posted June 23, 2016 Share #792 Posted June 23, 2016 Hallo Morry, thank you for the answer. I´ve also found. Press slowly without rush, but also not too long. Then it works. But i have Leica written. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted July 2, 2016 Share #794 Posted July 2, 2016 Had the M-D sitting on a shelf for a week but no time to do anything with it. Today I updated the firmware, fitted a Street Strap taken off my M4-2, fitted the Summilux 35 v2 taken off the M-P. Twisted the focusing ring to minimum, set the lens to f/2, set the self timer on. Plunked it onto the bookcase shelf and pressed the button. Leica M-D typ 262 + Summilux 35mm f/1.4 v2 ISO 320 @ f/2 @ 1/15 First official photo out of the M-D typ 262. My apologies about the subject. The firmware update evidently reset the camera because the file is numbered 0001. A fitting starting point, I guess. I dumped the M4-2 and all its bits out of my Tenba DNA 8 and stuck the M-D as accoutered, and the Summarit-M 75mm f/2.4, in the bag. Tossed the Color Skopar 28mm f/3.5 in as well. This will be fun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rawcs Posted July 4, 2016 Share #795 Posted July 4, 2016 Judging by the first official photo it certainly will be fun - for all of us! Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted July 30, 2016 Share #797 Posted July 30, 2016 Several weeks of using the M-D and I'm absolutely convinced (and delighted!) ... this is my perfect M camera. Leica M-D + Color Skopar 28mm f/3.5 ISO 320 @ f/8 @ 1/12 enjoy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted July 30, 2016 Share #798 Posted July 30, 2016 "Even car manufacturers are offering select cars with manual transmissions" LOL. Sir, you are showing your provenance. To a considerable part of the world, automatic transmissions are a minority of car sales and an expensive accessory. Real Men are confident enough to delegate shifting to the machine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
