Jacobjuul Posted March 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I just got my Leica Q back from sensor cleaning from Leica Korea. Now I can see something that appears to be pink noise on about 20% of all my raw files (the jpegs are fine). Raw file Welcome, dear visitor!

Could this have been due to the service?

adan Posted March 7, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Generally - the first suspect in this kind of scrambled image is a bad or poorly-formatted SD card. Especially if intermittent. A fast and cheap test is to try again with the card carefully reformatted (not just "delete pictures") in the camera. Or with a whole new high-quality card of moderate capacity (not too small, not too large). It's rather interesting that the shape of the noise band reveals the pin-cushion distortion )( the Q applies to correct for the 28 Summilux's native barrel distortion ( ).

jaapv Posted March 7, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2021 I would format the card in the computer first using SDFormatter, before doing so again in the camera. I suspect that the card has been used in another camera whilst th Q was being serviced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted March 13, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2021 It is a problem with SD card. Try another one. And only format SD within the Q. It hates SD formatted elsewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 13, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 13, 2021 Revisiting this it looks more like an electronic problem to me. There are data written to the card: a faint and shifted image, strong noise. Send the image to Leica for evaluation. The JPG rules out a sensor fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobjuul Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted May 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I owe an update on this. Just returned home from Korea and was able to try a new SD card. It was indeed the SD card. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
