Mark_Mono Posted June 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there. I have a strange issue with my MP240. I haven't used it for a while but my M10 has gone in for servicing so I'm using the MP240 again. I seem to have an issue with the shutter release and / or lens coupling. I have tried turning off auto lens detection, setting it to manual etc etc but all to no avail. See this video to explain the issue. It won't shoot rapidly with a lens attached when set to 'S' , ie it seems to jam in-between firing, but will shoot consecutive frames when set to 'C'. But will with shoot rapidly in 'S' with no lens attached ???? Never had this issue before. Can't figure it out, I've tried different sd cards so it's nothing to do with buffer, I've tried different lenses, still the same result. Any thoughts appreciated ? Here is a link to a video showing the issue https://f.io/dbVNnf-K Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Michel Posted June 8, 2021 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2021 Take your lens cap off. I just tried this with my own M-P and get a similar result (not identical), probably due to the light meter trying to measure the dark! Jean-Michel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted June 8, 2021 Share #3 Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Incredible CAP ! How is it possible to keep the cap trying to take pics ? I'd mount also a lens without cap. ... edit Sorry I had not seen the 1/4000 setting ! Something is wrong. Edited June 8, 2021 by a.noctilux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Michel Posted June 8, 2021 Share #5 Posted June 8, 2021 Hi again, I looked at the video again. The 'clunk' noise when the camera is turned on means that it was set to LV when last used, turning the camera on also opens up the shutter. I tried the experiment by first setting LV, turning the camera off, and turning it back on and with a capped lens I get the same result as Mark; same delay with cap off, since LV does take its sweet time. On Continuous, the camera fires continuously. So Mark's camera does not have an issue, it is just how LV works. Jean-Michel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Michel Hi Jean-Michel You are right , the clunk noise is same as when LV is set , but I don't have it activated. I just tried again to make sure LV is off, it is deactivated, same problem, with lens cap on or off. Seems like it's got stuck in LV mode somehow. I'll try a reset, remove battery etc and re-boot. Thanks for your input, appreciated ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lens can off and formatted memory card, no difference, I think Jean-Michel might be right , it's got stuck in LV mode. Thanks for your answer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things go weird, in my experiences with digital M, "reset" can help most of the time, not with sensor problems though ( M9 or Monochrom for me ). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaeger Posted June 12, 2021 Share #14 Posted June 12, 2021 I tried on mine, I notice it takes a tad longer to recoup between the 1st and 2nd shot. Then 2,3,4... are pretty average. Why? (not in LV mode, ISO 200, 1/4000, f/1.4, bright environment) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
