gib_robinson Posted August 19, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Several times when I have been shooting my R9/DMR rapidly over a period of 15 minute or more, the DMR has slowed down and then stopped re-cocking the shutter all the way. I have resorted to re-cocking the shutter by hand. From what I can tell, the problem is caused by an overheated DMR motor. If I wait for a few minutes, the camera cools sufficiently to resume shooting. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgcd Posted August 19, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2006 Can't say that I have. Is the DMR writing to disk when this happens? Is the battery at full capacity? I'm just trying to thnik about what the cause may be but I have no tangible explanation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted August 19, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2006 Any chance this happens towards the end of the capacity of the card or any time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted August 19, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 19, 2006 It seems to me if this would happen than it maybe at a point were much stress on the system is being applied and that on the surface seems like the only area i can think off is the writing to card. Maybe a faulty battery also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gib_robinson Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks for the questions. One conclusion I can reach is that clearly this is not a problem shared by other users. I'm going to contact Leica U.S. and see what they say. I will watch more carefully to see whether the heating happens near the end of a card or possibly the end of a battery charge, but I don't think that's the case.
