tenhune Posted July 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi! Yesterday I just changed from M262 to new M10P and wow, it is just awesome camera! But in the evening I took test shots with fully loaded battery and I noticed that extremely over exposure areas are pink/red, instead to be white. There is little bit dimmer areas where I could calculate pixels from the picture. I use camera with Zeiss 50mm/f2 Planar T* -lens and i don’t have another lens with me. In LiveView -mode the picture is OK, blownout areas are white but issue appears when the camera creates a picture. Same issue seems to be with DNG, JPEG or DNG+JPEG. I transfered pictures to phone via WLAN and here is example, issue seems to be in file. Is it normal for extremely highlights with new Leica’s sensor or is my new camera defective? I haven’t seen this before and I have had multiple fullframe DSLR’s too. I did some steps for resolving this issue, without resolution... - Reset Camera Settings - Taken out battery and SD-card - Changing lens profile What you think guys? Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted July 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 25, 2019 Hello, welcome here, Strange pink blob. Is it a crop ? Artificial lighting ? Maybe the automatic white balance can be the cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenhune Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Picture is full image, not crop. It seems that the camera translates overexposure highlights to magenta/pink when it takes photo. I have go back to seller and test with Leica lens and other SD-card if there could be somekind of image saving issue. Otherwise this unit is broken straight out of the box.

a.noctilux Posted July 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 25, 2019 I don't have M10-P, but in my two years use of M10, I've never complain about this kind of pink highlight. M10's HL must be white, when use correctly. You wrote the transfer to phone. I don't have experience with this type of use, but the transfer may it be jpeg file and not DNG ? I don't use jpeg because jpeg files from Leica M can be "strange". Can you view the same file on your computer screen, DNG with same pink ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted July 25, 2019 It may be that the bulb inside is a LED light. In that case it can come out as any colour. It just depends on which channel was blown. It appears that the green and blue channel were blown out and the red one not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenhune Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Good opinions, thank you guys! I tested the camera at outside too. Everything which was more highlighted seems to be switched towards deep purple. I visited at seller and we had change to test my unit with another Leica lens and another SD-card but same issues happened again. So the camera was diagnosed faulty and need to be repaired. Luckily they had another new camera on stock, its working without any problem. Awesome service from reseller.

a.noctilux Posted July 25, 2019 Share #7 Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) So it is faulty. Nice to know that the dealer replaced the faulty one. ... 😇 Leica may offer this "faulty M10-P" as only one very Limited Edition M10-P Hello Kitty (humour rose noir ... in french ! ) Edited July 25, 2019 by a.noctilux 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
designdog Posted July 25, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 25, 2019 I agree. Before doing anything radical, take some photos in raw, take the card out of the camera and use a transfer device to load it on a computer. Then open the file in a raw convertor, such as Lightroom. Taking a photo directly into a lamp in a dark room makes no sense, even for testing. Transferring a file from an $8,000 camera to a phone makes even less sense...
