colint544 Posted June 28, 2023 Share #1601 Posted June 28, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone come across this one? I find live view and focus peaking useful for framing up things that are too close for the rangefinder, and I use it a reasonable amount. Was using the M11 this morning, focus peaking was fine. Now the peaking confirmation lines have vanished. I've tried changing the colour of the peaking from red to green, selecting focus peaking off, then putting it back on, pulled the battery a couple of times, pulled the SD card. Don't know what else to do. Am I missing something (aside from focus peaking)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colint544 Posted June 28, 2023 Share #1602 Posted June 28, 2023 I did a reset on the camera, and that's fixed it. Never had to do that before, but it's worked. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely getting that icon, along with the information strips at top and bottom of the screen, but no peaking information. The reset has fixed it. There was another slight fly in the ointment too. When zooming out from an image on the LCD, it's supposed to show a grid of 12 thumbnails, then you zoom out further and you get a grid of 30 thumbnails. I noticed that if I tried to zoom out from certain individual images, the LCD would freeze on just that one image and the camera would be locked. Switching the camera off wouldn't fix it - the orange LED on the back would stay on and the camera would stay locked, unable to switch back on. Only a battery pull would fix it. The reset - first I've done - seems to have fixed all of that. Kind of hoping that Leica are working on a further firmware upgrade though, to smooth these glitches out. My M11 is not anywhere near as reliable as my nearly 11-year-old M9M, which works flawlessly, and is totally dependable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 28, 2023 Share #1605 Posted June 28, 2023 Never got such issues with my digital Ms so far but i have no experience with the M9. It was not free from freezes though according to the links below. BTW as a common point between my freeze-free M8.2, M240 & M11, i format all my cards with SD Card Formatter for a good ten years. FWIW, YMMV, etc. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/108100-my-m9-keeps-freezing-up/https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/131926-m9-freeze-uplock-up/https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/177015-m9-freeze-and-shutdown-help/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea where to find this "Default" wording BTW? Just curious. Sorry, I just called it default because once I change a setting, it no longer shows the profile I had selected but instead a generic icon. I guess that generic icon has no name. I would prefer it to show the profile name/number with a plus next to it. That way at least I could see what user profile I had been using before I changed a setting. Welcome, dear visitor!

Yeah happened to me, i dont usually use liveview except when scanning my negative, but i still could focus on point so cant be bugged.. and i have 3 liveview profiles, to each one dont give me the peaking though it was enabled… as far as memory goes, it was there before yesterday went on to shoot with the FLE II which i had to use liveview since i focused closer than 0.7mm luckily the liveview got stabilized, otherwise i’d be pulling my hair.. cant be botherrd resetting camera 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was initially a bit like you, I found I could still nail the focus with the stabilised and magnified area, but it just kept bothering me that the peaking aid had vanished. It occurs to me that, as far as I remember, there's no re-set function in the M9M menu, and the camera always seems to work with no glitches. Pulling the battery is how you re-set it. Maybe the inclusion of a re-set option in the M11 menu is an admission of sorts, that issues with the software are a feature of the camera. Or perhaps it's just a more refined option than pulling the battery. Edited June 29, 2023 by colint544 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like less sensitive or whatsoever, i did compare with my M10 r, the peaking was more visible, thought the medium i was shooting was the culprit, but the negatives allegedly give more contrast to produce the peaking but im oke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkphoto Posted July 10, 2023 Share #1616 Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I’ve shot thousands of photos on my M11 without issue until today, after taking several photos in succession I go to take another photo and…nothing. No response from the camera. The camera is on/metering and everything. Had to pull the battery. This was the only time I’ve been shooting with internal memory (no SD in the camera). I always use SD card only. Edited July 10, 2023 by bkphoto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakontil Posted July 10, 2023 Share #1618 Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) My M11 rarely freezes all things considered.. but i stretched my luck and kept shooting on quick successions with a single mode shoots, and bang! It freezes.. well at least if i know how far it will go, i might avoid it later, that was my intention have been using sony sdcard UHS II 300mb/s Edited July 10, 2023 by jakontil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
