convexferret Posted June 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I received my long-awaited M10M yesterday and immediately took it for a walk with the dogs. I noticed immediately that the images on the back screen looked incredibly grey. On getting back home and importing the DNGs into Lightroom (and later other raw converters, same results) I found that none of my images had blacks. Any detail below a dark grey had been clipped, it just wasn't there. I opened the DNGs in RawDigger, an application that lets you examine the underlying values in a RAW file and found that all of my images' shadows started at 400 (of 16000), not the 0 I would expect. I downloaded some DNGs from the net and found that they looked perfectly normal. In fact a shot taken with lens cap on also gave a single peak at 400. After much googling without results and at the point of phoning Leica I remembered that, as an I.T. professional I had yet to follow what would be my first advice to anyone: "Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again". Or in this case, running a reset. And indeed, that solved the problem. The camera is now running perfectly normally with the same configuration as I originally had set up. I include below three JPGs. One from my walk, exported with 0 changes from Lightroom. One with lens cap on and another with lens cap on taken right after resetting the camera. As long as this doesn't reoccur I'm going to try my best to forget that it ever happened. I'm posting this in case it happens to someone else. Welcome, dear visitor!

Gobert Posted August 8, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Side question to the happy end: which raw converters did you tried? Edited August 8, 2020 by Gobert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
convexferret Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted August 8, 2020 I’ve tried Lightroom, Photoshop camera RAW (same engine), Afffinity Photo and RAW Therapee. They all do fine jobs. Some make certain looks easier or harder to get to but I don’t believe that any look is impossible with any converter. Choose one and learn it well.

Gobert Posted August 8, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks, I am not an Adobe fan. I’m using DxO. But that doesn’t support monochrom files. C1 is bloody expensive. So I have think how to proceed when I am buying my monochrom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
