simonwesterlund Posted May 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey fellow Leica fans, Like my title says, my M11 doesn't sleep no matter what power saving option I pick. I've noticed the hard way a few times where the screen was still displaying the last taken image (this with the preview mode set to shutter press). I saw another thread about power consumption, but this is not the same issue since the other thread the power saving mode was off. I'm pretty certain this is a software issue, does anyone else have any kinds of issues like this? Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Hi simonwesterlund, Take a look here M11 has insomnia, doesn't respect the power saving mode. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Kwesi Posted May 5, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2022 Has it always behaved this way? If not have you tried reverting to factory settings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has been like this since day one and I've had the camera since March, and no I haven't tried resetting it, that's what I'll try next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 5, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 5, 2022 I have not noticed such a problem so far. My M11 asleeps and awakes normally but i have little experience with it. I would try to reset the camera anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwesterlund Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted May 5, 2022 I did a factory reset of the camera settings but after trying out different options I managed to find a solution. If the display power saving mode is less than the camera power saving mode, it'll flash when the screen is supposed to sleep and the camera will stay awake. Seems like a software bug. Does anyone know how to report those? IMG_5632.mp4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted May 5, 2022 Share #7 Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Not sure what happens to your cameras folks but my screen comes asleep first [no flash, no warning, black screen] and the camera does the same in due time afterwards [warning "Auto power saving", black screen]. I don't see any bug then but i may be missing something... Edit: and yes i have an M11... Edited May 5, 2022 by lct 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how to report those? IMG_5632.mp4 Not sure this is a bug. Is this also true when the display is in image review(playback) mode? I guess the rational being why would you want live view to shut off on you when you are working in live view mode? It seems the flashing display just reminds you that your setting doesn’t match your current usage. Unfortunately I don’t work in live view mode except for pc control so I haven’t encountered this behavior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don’t work in live view mode except for pc control so I haven’t encountered this behavior. Interesting theory, however I just tried it and with live view off and showing a picture, it flashes consistently on display power save interval. Uhm, so I did a few other tests and it seems like the only conditions in which the camera will sleep are that the screen has to be on (doesn't matter if it's a still or LV) and display power saving mode has to be off. In any other condition than that it'll just stay on forever which is a total bummer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s worth reporting the bug to Leica through the Fotos app. ‘Also speak with your dealer if they can expedite service for you if needed.
