jim_royer Posted August 29, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted August 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a Digilux two camera which has a problem I can't seem to solve. When it is on the record mode (shooting mode), I cannot take a photo. What I see on the screen or through the viewfinder is the same thing, a picture that is all blurry and non-recognizable. It fact, it looks like a modern art painting. The camera still works on playback mode. Â I have re-charged the battery and changed the memory card. Still the same thing. Any suggestions short of sending it in for repairs at Leica? Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted August 29, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted August 29, 2007 Sounds like the widespread sensor failure problem. Back to Leica... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_lague Posted August 29, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted August 29, 2007 For sure this is a bad sensor. Happened to me as well. Need to send back to Leica for a new sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim  Sounds like a variation of the Digilux dead sensor problem - welcome to the club! :D  This has been well described in several threads on this forum. There is a well-documented fault in the Sony sensor which causes it to fail after extended use. Leica have recognised the problem and have instituted an open-ended guarantee on the sensor (there is a note to this effect on their website) and will replace it f.o.c if you return the camera to them. However, there is currently a backlog and repairs are taking a couple of months or more.  Some people have been offered a discounted upgrade to a Digilux 3 as an alternative to repair.
