Rhyman Posted October 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was out shooting today in Yellowstone. It was cold so I was wearing gloves. I saw some of my images with this dark band on the top. I thought maybe it was the gloves and tried real hard to not have anything in from of the lens. It still happened sometimes. Has anyone else seen this? Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Guest Nowhereman Posted October 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2017 Send the pictures to Leica Customer Service. Could be a shutter problem, requiring a shutter replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alo Ako Posted October 5, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Has anyone else seen this? Yes, when the photo has been taken with flash by short exposure time... Edited October 5, 2017 by Alo Ako Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD11 Posted October 5, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 5, 2017 looks like the temperature had an effect on the movement of your shutter. So it fired not the way it should and created this black bars. Could also be that you used non-HSS flash at higher speeds then 1/125s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted October 5, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 5, 2017 Did you really use flash and used an exposure time that was shorter than the flash synchonisation time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetmode Posted October 5, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 5, 2017 Did you really use flash and used an exposure time that was shorter than the flash synchonisation time? OP stated he was using flash? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyman Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted October 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) None of these images were with flash. Shutter speeds were high. 1/2000 to 1/4000 of a second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nowhereman Posted October 5, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) The high shutter speeds and the look of the pictures indicates that this is probably an intermittent shutter problem, that is likely to require replacement of the shutter. Best to verify by sending the pictures to Leica Customer Service. _______________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Edited October 5, 2017 by Nowhereman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymac Posted October 5, 2017 Share #9 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Try a firmware update to 1.9.4.0 Leica discovered, ‚that in certain cases, the firmware 1.7.4.0 could produce black images when using short exposure times. This bug has now been fixed with firmware 1.9.4.0.‘ Good luck Tom Edited October 5, 2017 by happymac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyman Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted October 7, 2017 Update. I contacted the Leica store where I bought the camera. They are replacing the camera. I already had the 1.9.4.0 firmware. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abphotog Posted December 19, 2017 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2017 Same problem here. Was doing a wedding and I got a bunch of lines in my outdoor shots. Did anyone else experience this problem too? I just messaged my camera store Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike51 Posted December 19, 2017 Share #12 Posted December 19, 2017 On occasions, this has happened for me. It seems to be in situations shooting wide open at f1.4 and into strong light (ie. back-lit subjects)....by accident and not design! I've not yet installed firmware 1.9.4.0 and will do so to see whether that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
