Slow navigation/scrolling through the zoomed-in photos

I was watching the Leica videos on Vimeo yesterday and remembered one annoying issue I had very often, which is:

 

After taking a photo and press the "PLAY" button and then "Zoom In" to check the photo for details, it becomes "Extremely Slow" to navigate/scroll through the photo. It moves so SLOW up or down that I have to zoom out and go to the spot (e.g. Face) I want to check and then zoom in again to check the sharpness of the eye.

 

Does anyone know this issue? Does it have anything to do with my SD cards or is it the RAM installed in the camera faulty or slow?

 

Unfortunately I reported the issue today to Leica, while receiving the repair confirmation order from Wetzler to change the faulty shutter for my M-P. I mean, the good thing is the camera is in Wetzler/Germany but I hope that won't slow the repair process.

I seeing similar slowness (Leica M TYP 262) when navigating and especially zooming in to the picture.

This is despite using a fast Sandisk 64GB extreme pro (95MB/s) card.

It happens only when viewing DNG files. If only jpeg is saved, then it does not show any delay. There seems to be no SD card access during this, so i assume it is just the DNG to preview  generation time.

Viewing DNG files is also very slow on a very powerful iMac. I rarely check pictures on the camera screen, but when I do, it is just slow in the beginning. Once I have the picture fully charged, navigation through the image is quick. I think the DNG file is a tricky file for chimping.

Look at the folder which contains your images.  You will see a real difference in file size between DNG and JPG  The chip in the camera is not a big one, either, compounding the problem.

No idea what "slow" means for you. Here it takes about one second to enlarge the picture and it scrolls through it without delay (M 240 & 246). I shoot only DNG on older and slower SanDisc cards.
Did you use the card also in other cameras or edit it on a computer (creating new folders, moving or deleting files and so on)? This could lead to such problems. Or is it nearly full? There are also faked cards around, mostly on cheap internet sources, that didn't match the specs of the originals and lead to problems therefore.
