andybarton Posted October 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I knew it would be too good to last I bought my M240 18 months ago. Looks like it has to go back to Wetzlar for a problem to be fixed. When setting the speed dial to 1/30, the shutter speed on LV shows 1/45. All speeds similarly show a half stop increase. Anyone else suffer from this? I know that I can correct it myself, but getting the shuter speed correct is pretty Billy Basic stuff. My wife says "Why didn't you buy another Nikon? Your D700 has never been back, but all your Leica's have had a problem" She's right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted October 19, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2016 Leica has had its share of QC issues. Apparently, Nikon, too... http://www.shutterbug.com/content/nikon’s-quality-control-problem#SkQvRLwHHDGjPJHr.97 The grass is often greener.... I care not only about good QC, but how a company addresses the issue, especially if it affects many users. This seems like a one-off problem (I don't recall similar complaints....but maybe I missed it), but the recent issues with AF motors on S lenses is another story, where proactive communications have been sorely lacking. It seems Leica has the message, but I've yet to see the results. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted October 19, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2016 What were the camera settings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted October 19, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2016 Does it expose at 1/45, or does it expose at 1/30 but record it as 1/45? Difficult to tell, I know, and needs fixed whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted October 19, 2016 Share #7 Posted October 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think this has been reported once before, but more than one click out. If I remember correctly that camera had other problems too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you don't send your Leica to Stuttgart and your M-B to Wetzlar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted October 20, 2016 Share #10 Posted October 20, 2016 this happened to my mp-240. i wiggled the shutter speed dial a few times then performed a camera reset (menu) & this resolved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
