kungfoo Posted April 12, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does you M10 also forget the manually selected lens when you power it off? Mine always switches back to 'Auto'. I find this kinda cumbersome, since I have several non-coded lenses.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Hi kungfoo, Take a look here M10 forgets manual lens selection on power off. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
robert blu Posted April 12, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) I just checked my one which I switched off a few days ago and still remember the non coded 50/F2 I selected when I used it least time. robert Edit: not sure if this has any influence but I stored it as a customer profile Edited April 12, 2017 by robert blu Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfoo Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 12, 2017 You stored it including the manually selected lens? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfoo Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted April 12, 2017 Mine also forgets the selected user profile when turned off and back on again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted April 12, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 12, 2017 Are you sure the camera forgot? If you choose a manual lens detection and then change to a lens which has a 6-bit-code, the manual selection is overridden and the camera applies the detection of the coded lens. Another reason could be that the area which reads the 6-bit code is not fully covered, or even your manually selected lens has some irregularity (screw or something like this) which the sensor for the codes detects. This happens when you use screw-mount adapters which have a spareout exactly at the position where the 6-bit-code is read. With these adapters a manually selected code will not persist but constantly switch to "Auto". This is a bug the M (240) had as well in the beginning which was solved by firmware. It has already been reported to Leica to be changed for the M10 as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfoo Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted May 9, 2017 Yeah it forgets without me changing the lens. It used to work for both lenses (35 cron ASPH and 50 cron) on my M240. Well, I'll probably have to wait for a firmware update. I wrote an email to Leica about it but have not heard back as of yet (wrote the email a while ago)...

tangfj Posted May 13, 2017 Share #7 Posted May 13, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just tested my M10 and it does not forget the manual selected lens for me. I tested by having a non 6 bit lens on with manual lens as 35mm 2.0, then turning off and putting on my 6 bit coded 50, then turn off and put back on my non 6 bit coded 35. The camera correctly remembered my last manual entry. Off topic but what would be nice and I don't know if it's possible is for the camera to remember the manual selection for each focal length... the camera knows which frame lines to bring up so I don't necessarily see why it couldn't also use that information to "remember" which manual lens selection was made for that focal length... Anyway, what steps do you do to reproduce the issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 13, 2017 Share #8 Posted May 13, 2017 Well, if it works for one camera and not for another and has not been reported before with quite a few cameras sold, it has nothing to do with firmware. It is either an individual fault of one camera or user error. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
