Puzzling for sure. I guess I'd do the usual things of cycling the shutter know, aperture dial and switching ISO to see if it made any difference. Then I'd try removing the battery and reinstalling. I'd try the FOTOS app and see if that worked. Then I'd try resetting the firmware. Then I'd panic and visit a Leica store if one is nearby. I might suspect that the shutter wheel is not correctly seated in a detent position also I'd work it around several times and back and forth. It would be my most likely candidate for an error such as this. You've probably done all these so not sure how I can help. Good luck.

Thank you.  I figured it out.  I have been using it in a somewhat darker setting for a while so it was defaulting to the minimum shutter speed it could no matter what else I changed.  There is a setting in the menu where you can choose the minimum shutter speed, which was factory set to 1/(2f).  I honestly don’t know what that formulation means - feel free to explain - but it translates to 1/50 shutter speed (and not very sharp images) when I shoot in low light.  I will set the minimum shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/125 because I would rather have a noisy picture with higher iso than a blurry one.   When I took the camera out into the sun, it readily changed shutter speed with no problem so the issue was me, and not covered by the warranty. 🤪

The formula 1/(2f) means 1over (2 times the lens focal length). In this case, since the lens is a 28mm, that would calculate as 1/56 sec. Not sure why the Q2 defaults to 1/50 rather than 1/60, but that's the formula. Similarly, 1/(3f) and 1/(4f) are 1/84 (rounded to 1/80) and 1/112 (rounded to 1/100), respectively.
