Klassika Posted December 20, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 20, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, With my new CL I got a Lexar SD HC II card, 32GB, 150 MB/s, 1000x. After taking pictures and switching to play to view the results the CL locks up. I have to take the battery out and in again. All settings are lost. Firmware is 2.1. With older, slower cards this problem doesn’t happen. Anyone? Leon from Holland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Klassika, Take a look here Card problem CL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted December 20, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2018 I would try to format the card in SD Memory Card Formatter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted December 20, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 20, 2018 And make your personal default settings into a User Profile, then save this profile onto a SD card and copy to your PC. Then you need never lose your settings entirely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klassika Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks so far. But strange that the same card doesn’t give any problems in my TL2. I exchanged the card for anothet one at my dealer today, but still the same problem. Older slower cards don’t give any problems in the CL.

jaapv Posted December 20, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 20, 2018 As it happens I have the 16 GB version of that card and it works just fine in the CL. If you use another modern card, does that give problems as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klassika Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted December 20, 2018 No Jaap, If I use slower speed card no problems. Maybe this Lexar SD HC II card, 32GB, 150 MB/s, 1000x is just to fast. It happens when I review the pictures and zoom in, then the CL locks up en I have to remove the battery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 20, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 20, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) As I said, I use a Lexar 1000x without any trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted December 20, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 20, 2018 I use Lexar 1000x 128G cards, no problem. As LocalHero said, try reformatting the card in SD Card Formatter and see whether that solves the problem. I always format all new cards in SD Card Formatter before using them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klassika Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted December 21, 2018 I figured it out, the card is a type II and not a type I, and that is the problem. Also according to Leica Wetzlar who gave me the same answer, problem solved. Thanks for your reactions and Happy Holidays, Leon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using UHS-II card (Sony) with no issues in my CL and the technical specification in the user manual (p.94) says that UHS-II cards are OK to use in CL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted December 21, 2018 Share #11 Posted December 21, 2018 My cards are type II as well. They work fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klassika Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted December 22, 2018 It’s the Lexar SD HC II that gives this problem. I went to my dealer and he tried 2 of these cards in another CL and the camera locked up and the red light kept on. Only battery out and in got the camera to work again. So I got a different card and no problema now. My dealer sent an email to Wetzlar and they said that this specific card gives problems. Maybe a future firmware update will solve this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 22, 2018 Share #13 Posted December 22, 2018 I'm a bit surprised that you managed to buy a Lexar card. There are all kinds of things wrong there and they have all but disappeared from the market; the last batches appeared to struggle wih quality and shops have taken any remaining ones from the shelves. The Sony cards seem to be identical to the "old" Lexar ones and are unproblematic. https://petapixel.com/2018/10/25/lexar-quits-xqd-cards-accuses-sony-of-preventing-progress/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have a Lexar SD HC II card, 32GB, 150 MB/s, 1000x which I bought in January this year when I received my CL. It has worked perfectly ever since. I formatted it with the SDFormatter before using it and normally re format the card in the camera after downloading images. It may well be that as Jaapv suggests there was a deterioration in quality of the last batches of Lexar cards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBird Posted December 22, 2018 Share #15 Posted December 22, 2018 I have had problems with some Lexar cards that I bought to use in my Nikon. I have just about quit using them due to quality issues. I can usually count on at least one out of 100 shots not recording properly. I have never had problems with Sandisk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2018 Share #16 Posted December 22, 2018 My two Lexar 1000x 128GB SD HC II cards work just fine. I only format inside my CL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntobias Posted December 23, 2018 Share #17 Posted December 23, 2018 ? genuine card.....I've known some dealers to (unknowingly) sell counterfeit ones because even they were fooled! I stick to san disk and never had any probs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 23, 2018 Share #18 Posted December 23, 2018 Most counterfeits are Sandisk - unlikely to happen to a Lexar card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_clarke Posted December 25, 2018 Share #19 Posted December 25, 2018 I had almighty problems with a Lexar type 11 150mb/s 1000x 32gb card in my SL in both October 2017 and spring 2018. The camera kept locking up when switched on with R lenses fitted or when switching from a 24-90 to an R100 or 180. After 2 trips to Wetzlar Leica could find nothing wrong with the camera, lenses or adapter. I was told the problem was with the card and not to use it. See SL thread. Research on line at the time showed Olympus also told one of their users not to use Lexar cards. I use only Sandisk now - and have had no trouble. Merry Christmas all, and a happy New Year Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klassika Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share #20 Posted December 25, 2018 It seems I’m not the only one with problems with this specific card. Yesterday I switched the Lexar cards for Sony ones and no more problems since then. Merry Christmas and a happy 2019. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
