dpt.calvin Posted January 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, Just received my M10 today (coming from an M8.5, M9-P, and multiple film M bodies). I'll get right to the point. I have a "Japanese Summilux" attached via a Metabones adapter LTM-M adapter. When I press the Live View button, I get a live view for a few seconds and then it turns off. Everything else works fine. I've searched the forums and checked the manual, but I'm lost. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelman Posted January 7, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2018 Not 100% sure this will fix your issue, but try selecting a lens type in the manual “coding” menu. The 50mm 1.4 non Asph should work well, but any selection might enable live view for you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozytripper Posted January 7, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2018 I had the same problem before and it was caused by the adapter. My original Leica adapter had a cutout (to facilitate the use of lenses with infinity lock) that leaves the "lens code reader" exposed - reading nothing Changed the adapter to one without the cutout and problem fixed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted January 7, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2018 I don't think it is related to lack of coding via an adapter or lack of a manual code. I have been using an uncoded 135mm Tele-Elmar and the LV has been working as intended. In the information display the camera 'thinks' an R adapter is being used but this makes no difference to function. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 7, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2018 Does the camera function correctly with a lens with M bayonet mounted? If so, the problem lies with the adapter. Sometimes the camera thinks there is no lens attached when an adapter with a cutout is mounted. Use one that is specifically made for digital M cameras.

dpt.calvin Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted January 7, 2018 Thank you, all, for the help. I went ahead and ordered a new adapter from Kipon and all seems to be working as expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
