Charles Posted December 27, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am having problems getting the Auto and EVF Extended Display Setting to work. They were working. What could I have done. I have tried reseting the camera but this does not solve the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Hi Charles, Take a look here Display Settings - EVF-LCD {Merged}. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted December 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 27, 2018 Cleaning the ocular, especially the little window at the top, should do the trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_exus Posted December 27, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) How does the problem manifest itself? Do not auto switch to EVF? Edited December 27, 2018 by al_exus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have the EVF set to EVF Extended, the Menu does not appear in the LCD and the LCD does not come on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_exus Posted December 29, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2018 The proximity sensor on the viewfinder, as advised jaapv, cleaned? I read on the forums that a hair is small enough and the screen does not turn on. Still need to check whether any contact bent in the connector? If all contacts are intact, try cleaning the contacts EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 29, 2018 Share #6 Posted December 29, 2018 I had the same problem and no amount of cleaning helped - until I used a microbrush and Eclipse. Welcome, dear visitor!

Charles Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted December 30, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks, cleaning the Eye Sensor did the trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted January 3, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 3, 2019 That's the only thing I don't like about the CL. The ocular keeps getting dirty and then the Auto function fails. Maybe I have long eye lashes or something but this happens frequently. Being so small it's also difficult to clean. Thanks for your tip about the micro brush Jaap, I know you told me about it when we met in Holland but my wife keeps forgetting to get me one. 😏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcolbroth Posted May 3, 2019 Share #10 Posted May 3, 2019 I have the same problem on my new Q. I was using EVF Extended and everything was working fine, until one morning the LCD wouldn't come on. I have written to Leica both in Germany and the US and no answer. I did a search for microbrushes and there are so many out there, but none like in your photograph. Also what is Eclipse? Thank you.

ramarren Posted May 4, 2019 Share #12 Posted May 4, 2019 It's interesting: I've been using my CL for almost a year now and have not once had the ocular get dirty, or had the EVF/Display fail to operate correctly. I don't know what I'm doing right! I'm serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Jaapv Thanks Does the size of the micro brush make a difference? Looking a the site that you sent, I realize my former dentist when she was retiring gave me a couple of tubes of micro brushes, although I don't know if there are the TRU brand. Do I wet them with Eclipse cleaning solution, then clean the eye piece/ocular? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 4, 2019 Share #14 Posted May 4, 2019 The size is fairly irrelevant, the brand completely (AliExpress is a good source) Just wet and clean... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcolbroth Posted May 5, 2019 Share #16 Posted May 5, 2019 Thank you, Jaapv I looked and micro brushes my former dentist gave me are TRU brand. I just have to order some Eclipse Cleaning solution. I may take to my local Leica store on Tuesday to chat with them before I start cleaning the eye piece. All the best, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CL body shows the same amount of dust and grit in the crevices of the body that I see on any camera, mostly held there by finger and skin oils left from handling it. The viewfinder ocular looks a little dusty too. It's just never failed to operate correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfdann Posted May 5, 2019 Share #18 Posted May 5, 2019 Mine has never failed to work. I wear glasses also. I would order microbrushes to have on hand for cleaning but haven’t figured which to get. Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted May 7, 2019 Share #19 Posted May 7, 2019 Hi. Having problems with the Display setting again. I am now carrying a Q tip with me to clean the area above the viewfinder. But I continually have the menu only in the EVF. When I first turn on the camera the menu shows on the LCD but just depress the shutter it disappears, and even if I take my eye away from the viewfinder the LCD menu won't turn on. Display settings EVF-LCD = Auto, have tried EVF extended EVF sensitivity = High, have tried Low too Any suggestions? Getting tired of continually cleaning the viewfinder. Another observation I seem to be getting more dust on my lenses than with any other camera I have have had, been photographing over 50 years. Thanks, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted May 7, 2019 Share #20 Posted May 7, 2019 I have the same question in another post, ordered the microbrushes and Eclipse from Amazon. This has been a constant problem for me, I clean the viewfinder multiple time while I am shooting, always carried Q-Tips but have switched to a microfiber cloth use an alcohol/water/dish soap glasses cleaner viewfinder and the little sensor but hasn't helped much. I get the menu on the LCD when I turn on the camera but after depressing the shutter I can't get the menu back on the LCD. Turn off the camera and back on again I get the menu on the LCD, press the shutter and again the menu on the LCD goes away. Constantly cleaning the viewfinder. Oh yes I wear glasses.
