Juanis78 Posted November 5, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, the leica cl sensor of LCD / EVF is playing and even if I tried to clean it it still doesn’t work. The Auto setting keeps the display in the EVF and I the LCD is on only when selecting the LCD option. Any idea how to solve this? I could always send it to Leica although I would want to avoid it. thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskkyle Posted November 6, 2023 Share #2 Posted November 6, 2023 This comes up often, if you give it a search. Clean your EVF sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanis78 Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted November 6, 2023 Thanks, I tried my best to clean this little sensor but I was not successful this time. I will try to purchase a pencil lens cleaner which might help me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensor is in the little niche top center of the EVF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted November 7, 2023 Share #5 Posted November 7, 2023 The EVF/LCD switch over has failed twice on my CL. First under warranty, the EVF sensor was replaced. The second time, about a year and a half later, the control circuit was replaced as well as the EVF sensor. About a $400 repair, with a warranty. The CL has been fine since then. If you find yourself continually cleaning the sensor, it is probably the above problem. Also there are small swabs that fit the sensor better than a Q-Tip. I got mine on Amazon.

Juanis78 Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted November 7, 2023 Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately it seems the sensor is not working anymore as last night I tried to clean it using different options. The sensor recognises at all times my face on the viewfinder unless I select the LCD option on the menu. I probably won’t send it to repair and set the FN menu option to EVF/LCD as default so I can switch from EVF to LCD for viewing images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 7, 2023 Share #7 Posted November 7, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) There are two possibilities: The sensor has come loose and has shifted or it is broken. Both mean a trip to Leica. First make sure that your menu setting has not changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
