colonel Posted October 21, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have this situation with my M-P 240 The on-display shutter speed changes as move the camera around but once I take a photo the display freezes at the shutter I last took it at. i.e. the shutter speed in the display does not change, not what it actually takes subsequent pictures at. When i switch it off and on the shutter speed moves like normal Is this a setting (I have tried most) or is it broken and needs to be fixed ? Is there any way of reapplying firmware ? some way to force it. It has 2.0.3.0 and if I try to update the normal way, to try and reset the firmware, it doesn't let me thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted October 21, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 21, 2017 When that happens and you half press the shutter button does it resume normally? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted October 22, 2017 When that happens and you half press the shutter button does it resume normally?Yes, everything is fine until I take a picture, then the shutter speed freezes until I switch it on or off It doesn't matter if I half press the shutter button afterwards, it keeps the same shutter speed display Some things can reset it when on, like formatting a card seems to let it move again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted October 22, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 22, 2017 That’s odd. I suggest an email or a call to Leica Wetzlar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted October 22, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 22, 2017 [...] Some things can reset it when on, like formatting a card seems to let it move again Never experienced that. I would try another card or format it with SD Formatter just to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted October 22, 2017 Never experienced that. I would try another card or format it with SD Formatter just to see. Tried that. Also bought some 32gb sd cards (I normally use 128) but doesn't make a difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted October 22, 2017 Which metering mode? A classic By the way it does it whether I use live view or the rangefinder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 22, 2017 Share #11 Posted October 22, 2017 This sounds a bit like the exposure locking function. Does the display in the optical finder display the dot which indicates that the EL function is being used? Do you use your camera with a soft release button, and if so, does the problem persist without the soft release? Have you tried resetting the camera to factory settings, using the menu?

colonel Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted October 22, 2017 Yes the dot is only on when I hold the button down but the exposure doesn't change Ok but now I feel a bit dumb The only thing I didn't try is to use the reset function in the menu. Tried it, and it seems to be working properly ....... doh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted October 22, 2017 Share #13 Posted October 22, 2017 Don’t feel dumb, it must have been a firmware bug, not your fault Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 22, 2017 Share #14 Posted October 22, 2017 .... Ok but now I feel a bit dumb .... That's the risk you take when posting questions here: that someone stumbles upon the solution, and that the solution will be simple. Very glad your problem seems to be solved. Enjoy your camera.
