Hi,

I have my Leica M9 for around 9 years now and it has been sensor replaced 1,5 years ago.

 

For the last week I am having this strange problem with shutter release.

In Standart mode it doesn't  exposure lock anymore.

In Soft mode it totally doesn't work.

In Discreet mode it works as required.

 

I have looked at the service menu and tested the release button and it shows all three levels of it working.

I removed /charged the battery, changed the SD card and i am not in Snapshot profile.

 

Still no luck to exposure lock mode to work, which used to work for years.

 

I wonder anybody have this kind of a problem before.

I sent a mail to Leica Repair, no reply yet.

 

Thanks a lot

A few of us have had the same problem. We found out we were using soft release screw ins which were touching the half way point in the Camera. Taking them out solved our problem. Now I put it back in loose with a little glue on the threads.

Which brand?

No brand/China/eBay. We think the threads have different depths on different cameras.

I had the same problem. It had nothing to do with soft release buttons, since I don't use them. I complained about it and Leica Wetzlar repaired it for free. It didn't cost me a penny....
