kalanka Posted August 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Unfortunately my M9 suffered terminal sensor failure. I replaced it with a pre-owned M240 to utilise my M lenses. There are lots of things I like about that camera but when I switch on there is a clunk that sounds like a shutter release. I don't recall this from the M9. Can anyone explain? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kivis Posted August 25, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 25, 2022 Hard to say. Hope you bought from a reputable source. take it back to them have them look at it. I use Leica Miami. Great guys. Always do me right. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted August 25, 2022 Share #3 Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Could the live view be left on? If the live view is not turned off before you turn the camera off it will open the shutter when you turn the camera on.

If this sound reappears, live view would be the first thing to check. Edited August 26, 2022 by Herr Barnack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostTenebras Posted August 26, 2022 Share #8 Posted August 26, 2022 This can also be caused by your choice of metering mode. If you chose the "Advanced" metering mode (rather than the "Classical" one), the shutter opens when you start the camera to meter light directly from the sensor. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Jefferson Posted September 25, 2022 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2022 Yes, advanced metering mode just like the M11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernlights Posted September 28, 2022 Share #10 Posted September 28, 2022 If advanced metering mode, when you turn on the M240, the shutter opens and exposes sensor and hence the sound. If classic metering, no sound as shutter would be kept down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually was why I only used the classic metering w my M240 - I hated the clunk! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
