Donzo98 Posted October 21, 2019 Share #1 Â Posted October 21, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just wondering if any of you with this combo have a noise coming from the camera/lens (not sure which actually). Noise occurs when the camera is on... but not when it is focusing. Sort of a gentle click.. but only very intermittently. IBIS is on... but only during half shutter press. AF is perfect... very silent. Just wondering... Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m9photo Posted October 21, 2019 Share #2  Posted October 21, 2019 Don, Does S1R has LENR?  iKE Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 21, 2019 Share #3  Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I also have my S1R set to only do IBIS on half press and it seems to be thinking about the scene and making little movements all the time. Others have also reported this.  @M9, LENR is optional on the Lumix.

Exactly!! I didn’t hear it on my other SL glass though.  Do you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF is perfect... very silent. Just wondering...  Same here .... almost as if AF-C is activated, although focus does not shift. I think there are some very subtle firmware glitches with some SL lens and S1/S1R combinations under certain conditions. This week in heavy rain I had back button focussed the S1R with the 24-90 and had to very lightly wipe the lens with a microfibre cloth before taking a photo ... only to find this defocussed the shot. At f11, focussed at infinity, IBIS on + 2 second timer on a big heavy tripod, zero should happen. Focussing is completely internal on the 24-90 so there is no physical way to move it. It was consistent and repeatable. Wiping, re-focussing and shooting, done equally rapidly, had no problem so clearly just the process of putting something in front of the lens caused focus to move. I'm not convinced it was camera movement as pressing the back button to focus solved the problem and only added a fraction of a second, plus added another potential cause of camera movement into the process.  Very odd. ps...... I also stress tested the S1R/24-90 combo by throwing it into Blea Tarn in the Lake District in the first half hour of a 5 day trip.  (it fell off my tripod). Despite a dunking in a foot of water it emerged unscathed and and has functioned perfectly .... so far, anyway. There was a bit of condensation on the inside of the rear EVF lens in cold wet conditions a couple of days later but this has was intermittent and went after a day. I was also out in heavy rain for a couple of mornings with the camera uncovered with no problem. I'd hesitate to recommend this as a test of 'weather proofing' but it may be reassuring for those out there wondering just how effective it is ..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted October 22, 2019 Share #7  Posted October 22, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leica Support is aware of this behavior. The latest response (translated into English by me) Hello, Mr. Cordes, Thank you very much for the information. I forwarded your mail internally. So far I haven't received any concrete feedback. The phenomenon will be investigated further. I can at least give you an explanation why the noises occur. The Panasonic S1 and S1R work with a different autofocus system than the Leica SL. These cameras focus continuously to calculate the depth information.   2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted October 22, 2019 Share #8  Posted October 22, 2019  .... which does fit with Panasonics fast CDAF strategy ...... presumably the camera is constantly monitoring things in a 'predictive' fashion to speed up the focussing process when it occurs..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted October 23, 2019 Share #9  Posted October 23, 2019 Which means that in order to avoid this, the SL2 will be a completely different camera...with PDAF. 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Scali Posted December 12, 2019 Share #10 Â Posted December 12, 2019 I thought I would chime in on this one... just so you are aware, the behaviour is identical on the SL2, which makes sense. I posted about this issue some months ago with 35 summicron sl on the s1r When I mounted the lens on the sl2 - identical behaviour! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also doesn't seem to be the issue, because I don't have Quick AF activated.  Edited December 13, 2019 by Ingo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops clicking when I put on the lens cap. The camera does not change focus when it is clicking, but Leica could be right that the camera is doing some focusing-related operation. Leica SL is silent with Summicron 75 SL mounted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photonc Posted May 2, 2023 Share #14  Posted May 2, 2023 Any updates or fixes for this issue? I just received a 35 sl, using it on my s1r and I am experiencing the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
