appleman Posted October 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anybody tell me why I have 2 vertical white lines showing on live view screen?. It doesn't affect the image but is very annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Hi appleman, Take a look here M 240 Live View. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jdlaing Posted October 3, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 3, 2017 It could be two hot pixels in the LCD screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soden Posted October 3, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 3, 2017 Because some idiot at leica thought it was a nice thing to do. Press the up or down arrow to change them. They are supposed to be alternative formats. Like 4:3. It’s not in the Manual because it was added in a firmware update later. When they first appeared I put in a feature request to be able to disable them entirely, but to no avail. I also find them annoying!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soden Posted October 3, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 3, 2017 That's fixed it, thanks S. They also appear in the EVF and to make matters worse, when using the EVF my thumb hits the up arrow and the screen goes crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pointless feature, poorly implemented. See my post on the EVF. Judge ye by the fruits of their labor. Ie: an idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So watch where you put your fingers and don't press the lower arrow button... Actually, it is quite practical to preview the 16:9 video format, or to synchronize the images with a 4/3rds camera you might be using at the same time, to name but a few uses.

Was this feature carried over to the M10? Video wasn’t so just how useful is this again? There is no off switch for it! That’s my complaint. They put electronic frame lines on a camera with no frame selector for a feature that has no effect on the image and which every image processing software provides.

jaapv Posted October 3, 2017 Share #12 Posted October 3, 2017 The 16:9 lines are still useful if you carry a video (enabled) camera over your other shoulder. There is an off-switch. The arrow buttons.... If an option is not useful to you, simply don't use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my complaint. They put electronic frame lines on a camera with no frame selector for a feature that has no effect on the image and which every image processing software provides. The EVF has no effect on the image, either, and neither has the LCD. Still, most users prefer cameras with LCDs and/or EVFs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arrow buttons.... [emoji57] If an option is not useful to you, simply don't use it. Sounds like a good feature for the SL. The M240 is not a pro-grade video. But have you used this feature? Look Jaap, your the last person I’d expect this argument from. When the M240 was released, didn’t you make the argument that it didn’t matter if the camera had all these new features as you could disable the M and LV buttons in settings? That’s all I’m asking about this poorly documented feature too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them buy an SL, it’s now cheaper than a M10 and provides much better video. I only use EVF for R lenses and macro and using it for those purposes EVF/LV has a major impact on the image. Unless you don’t care for focusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted October 3, 2017 Share #18 Posted October 3, 2017 Useful feature indeed but too easy to trigger by accident. Poor ergonomics as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted October 6, 2017 Share #19 Posted October 6, 2017 I like this feature since I prefer 16:9 crops. It helps me visualize how the final crop will look like. Even if it can be triggered accidentally, I like the implementation since it is easy to toggle between different framing without moving my finger placement too much.

jmahto Posted October 6, 2017 Share #20 Posted October 6, 2017 BTW, one more post and I am going to hit 2,000 posts. Do I get a pass from moderators in my 2000th post if I say something crazy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
