DavidM9 Posted May 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Halfway through an early morning photoshoot of the SandDunes in Vietnam - beautiful red skies pre sunset. Had to resort to my Leica Q after my SL froze. I was changing lens from 24-90 to 18mm M lens. Then removed M lens and attached 24-90. That was when my camera froze. As soon as camera switched on, a frozen picture I took earlier appeared and remained there. Switching off camera didn't help. I had to remove battery. Tried again after 10 mins but still no good. For some reason I decided to try again with the 18mm M lens and voila - all was well. Took a few shots then reattached 24-90 and everything back to normal. Very strange. Any other users experienced this problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 13, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2016 Yes I have experienced this once. In my case when changing from a M lens with adaptor to R lens with both adaptors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM9 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted May 14, 2016 Ok. Probably a bug that needs to be fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamdewilde Posted May 14, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 14, 2016 Yes have also had this happen several times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenw0lf Posted May 15, 2016 Share #6 Posted May 15, 2016 Never had any problems with this - and hope it goes on like that (knock on wood). But I usually turn off the camera to change a lens - did you too ? Your description suggests maybe no, it is unclear. Please make clear statement. Otherwise this could be the problem ?!

DavidM9 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted May 15, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can't be sure if I switched off the camera. I normally do. So is this a feature or a onown problem if you don't switch off the camera when changing lens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenw0lf Posted May 15, 2016 Share #8 Posted May 15, 2016 I simply try to find a difference that explains why I never had this problem. But it is easy: Just consciously turn it off from now on, and see if it happens again. Or send it straight to Leica, if you prefer. But I would definitely test it before sending it in.

ski542002 Posted June 14, 2016 Share #9 Posted June 14, 2016 As a matter of habit way back when I started shooting digital in 2003, I always turn off any digicam when changing a lens. I was told (but did not test), that when powered on the sensor is a greater dust magnet; something to do with the electrical current. Again, I don't know if this is accurate but it's a habit I've gotten in to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
