eab Posted January 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Everyone I was playing around with the M11 last night and noticed that the small red led dot indicating exposure lock ( when the shutter is half pressed ) does not come on anymore. I looked in the M11 manual and the manual discusses it as well. I know the little green icon next to the shutter speed display comes on when the exposure is locked comes on but no red dot in the off. I should note that the exposure does not change if I half press the shutter and point the camera at an area which would normally change the exposure, as designed. I was wondering if other folks are seeing the same behavior as well or if it is a problem with my copy? Perhaps they started with the M10 manual and forgot to update the manual with the change? Thanks Eric 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eab Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted January 24, 2022 Thanks for answering. It may be a bug or they eliminated the upper led? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eab Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted January 24, 2022 I often wondered why it was there as I know when I am depressing the shutter halfway Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianforber Posted January 24, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 24, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does it behave this way in all metering modes? Multi-field metering tends to make exposure lock irrelevant as the camera is metering off the whole scene, which could be an explanation, although other cameras usually let you lock exposure even if it doesn’t change when you recompose.

Ian Yes, I checked in all modes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianforber Posted January 24, 2022 Share #9 Posted January 24, 2022 Ok. Sounds like you’re right about it possibly being a bug. Shame 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevejack Posted January 24, 2022 Share #10 Posted January 24, 2022 Not meaning to hijack your post, but I thought you may be able to check and confirm another strange thing I noticed yesterday. On your M11, with live view switched off, press play to bring up the photo you last shot on your LCD. With the image still on your screen, look through your OVF and check the LEDs - they are frozen on my camera when an image is being displayed on the LCD. Same thing if I am inside the main menu structure (but not if I'm on the quick menu screen). Once I half press the shutter, or change the shutter speed dial, the metering becomes active again - but until then the LEDs are paused, and no amount of changing aperture ring will unfreeze them. On my M10R this is not the same - the metering is active even with an image or menu showing on the rear LCD, and changing the aperture ring triggers a response from the meter.

Yes, metering is blocked when the image is reviewed; half-press cancels image review and wakes up metering. The software in M11 seems to be completely new. It is not clear to me if this is works-as-intended or a bug. Edited January 25, 2022 by SrMi 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donodeng Posted June 7, 2022 Share #12 Posted June 7, 2022 it happened to me as well. (after the 1.4 firmware update). all you need to do it simply turn off the camera, and remove the battery, and put the back on the battery , and voila. the red indicate appears. digital ....
