Quick Leica M8.2 Question

Hi guys,

 

Recently I picked up a low shutter count M8.2 and I noticed when I use my SanDisk Ultra 32gb card and SanDisk Extreme 16gb card every couple shots(approx 5 shots) the camera will make a stuttering sound on the shutter, but when I use an old SanDisk 1gb card I can shoot full card about 60 shots and only get 1 stutter.

 

Any help would be appreciated...should I be concerned about the shutter or is this card related like I'm thinking.

 

I am shooting with a Minolta Rokkor 40mm lens.

might be an issue with the shutter. i doubt, it has anything to do with the memorycard.

Don't know what you mean by 'stutter', but I've owned two M8.2s (still one as back-up to M240) and never experienced a problem.  I hope you bought from a reputable dealer with warranty.  You might have them give you a new SD card to try, but if that doesn't work, return it; there are other good samples out there. FWIW, I've used SanDisk Extreme 4GB cards....although I now use Lexar 16GB cards in the M240.

Looking like it might be a random goof...my first leica so might have been user error as well.  I gave the battery a fresh charge and formatted all the cards ran through a good number of shots without any hiccups.

 

Thanks for the quick replies guys.  Will def be frequenting the forum through my leica journey.

Check out the FAQ if you haven't already....lots of useful info (much of which applies to the M8.2).

Your 32GB card is an SDHC card i presume. I would format it with SD Formatter and try again.
