Line through my photo. Anybody ever see this?

M10-P

50 Summilux

1600 ISO

180th of a second at 1.4.

A line through my photo near the Priest's chin.

Anybody know what this might be. Only this (5 second) burst of photos has it.

Thx

As has been suggested it does look like it could have be caused by a dead pixel. Even one 'death' can be sufficient. I'd speak to your Leica dealership and possibly offer to send them the above photo by way of explanation.

FWIW I had a similar issue where exactly that situation caused a 'dead-line' although in my case the resulting line was lighter rather than darker. Here's a 100% crop which clearly shows the deceased one;

It varied in severity of effect from image to image so it was hard to detect at the time - and impossible to see on the camera's screen.

Have a really good look at an affected file to see if there is such an issue. If it has then, as egrossman says in post #2, the camera can (probably) be remapped to ignore the culprit. In my case it happpened with an M9-P and IIRC it could have been solved in a simpler way than sending the camera back to Wetzlar. Something like by sending Leica a DNG file and they would, in return, supply a software update code (or suchlike).

Good luck!

Philip.

Contact Leica customer support, send this image as an example. If they determine that line is indeed a row of dead pixels, they can send you remapping software via an email attachment.

This is the best advice.  Leica USA did the same for me.  I contacted their support by email, sent them some DNGs taken with the body cap on and no lens mounted.  Also the images where I noticed the line.  In 5 days or so, they sent me the remap firmware and I have had no issues since.
