Kathrin Posted October 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just noticed that the meter memory lock is not working on my M9, when in manual mode. It works just fine when in aperture. Camera is not set on soft. Any ideas? I have a photograpic trip on October 19th, such a bad timing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted October 19, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2019 How can it work when you have set the values manually? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted October 22, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 22, 2019 Do you mean that the camera doesn't lock the ISO (when in auto ISO) in manual mode? I think this is normal? Mine doesn't do this either. I thought AE lock only works in Aperture priority mode? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted October 23, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2019 What is “meter memory lock”? Is it in the manual? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, page 136 Quote Metering memory lock For compositional reasons, important parts of the subject are often not in the center of the picture, and as a result such important subject items may on occa- sion be excessively light or dark. However, metering on the LEICA M9 is strongly center-weighted, essen- tially only an area in the center of the picture is cali- brated to an average gray scale value. Subjects and situations of this sort can be overcome very easily even in aperture priority mode, using metering memory lock. Also possibly relevant to @Kathrin Quote Metering memory lock is not available if the shutter release function is set to Soft 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your replies! I got confused the same way once, after switching back and forth between the M9 and the M typ240 for a few days, as the latter does allow AE lock via ISO in manual mode.

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted October 23, 2019 Share #9 Posted October 23, 2019 Think I'll just stick to my nice simple M8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
