Hi guys, i know im not the only one writing about this. But is there anyone who got it solved? It's a black line in the middle of the screen. Firmware is up to date. Switching sd cards doesn't help. And the black line is also visible in live view. Don't know if pixel mapping would help.

I also hear different stories about being able to pixel map with a firmware sent from leica support or having to send the body to leica.

Send the DNG to Leica to evaluate.

Seems like I have to send it back

Interestingly they make it sounded like a norm.  The Japanese made doesn't have much of this problem.

quick follow up here,

So the camera has been fixed at Leica in Germany (vertical line is gone).

Now this happens sometimes:

it only happens to photos shot in iso 1600 1/60th at 1.4. and not to all photos shot with these settings... 😞

should i send it back or could it be an SD card problem?

If they pay the shipping I don't see why not.
