augustnspring Posted August 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) The shutter works pretty fine until this morning when I tried to take a picture of the roof of my neighbor. Very bright day and sky and the building plane is in the shadow, but when I pressed shutter, it didn’t not go down as usual and did not make that click sound. It felt like it only went down half way and made a muffled sound like EN. However the shot was taken. I can’t make out why. Appreciate if someone knows why and shares with me.

geotrupede Posted August 27, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2022 I am guessing, could it be the electronic shutter? It is totally silent, there are no moving parts. If you have selected the hybrid shutter, it is used in auto when speed exceeds 1/4000th. It is useful with f 1/ f1.4 in sunny conditions but comes with a very evident rolling shutter effect (the images look like compressed and deformed, if objects, or the camera, move while the picture is taken).

I’m used to the mechanical sound so the unfamiliar electronic one sounded kind of off to me 😂 Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted August 27, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 27, 2022 I don't have the M11, but if it is like other Leicas then in the 'Automatic' shutter-type setting, it will switch to electronic shutter when the light is very bright and a very short exposure is required.
