Yeedah Posted February 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi! I recently purchased a used Leica Q manufactured early 2018. When I try shooting in night, both "low iso + long exposure", and "high iso + short exposure" captured in DNG file shows annoying banding, and even some unwanted color points, like the images shown below. Is this a native camera issue? Or this camera sensor is defected : ( Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted February 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2020 What were your settings? Any camera will show artefacts like this when pushed to extremes, especially when underexposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted February 8, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2020 Yes, if you use a 4 sec exposure without LENR you will get these artifacts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed the EVF in my Leica Q tends to be bluish ( cold ) than the LCD screen. is it normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lay9eggs Posted February 9, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 9, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) My Q EVF is bluish too. I guess it is normal. Recently I had a chance to look into the Q2 EVF. No bluish tint. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lay9eggs Posted February 9, 2020 Share #8 Posted February 9, 2020 By the way, what is LENR? I googled and nothing related to photography turned out. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know my Q has lenr which I never used or even knew it exists. I guess it don't matter much to me since I don't shot long exposure:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thought something was wrong but ended pleasantly surprised when I realized what it was doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both will be influenced by your WB setting. Check that first before you begin to suspect a fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked my menu setting several times, and it there isn't an option for setting the WB of the EVF or LCD.
