In  A and P modus 1/16000 does not work. Has anyone the same problem?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I haven't checked on my SL3, but on my Q3 you couldn't use 1/16,000 in Aperture priority mode.

Not me, but best to carefully check the manual about this.

You got him there. Must be a trollster.

I can't get more than 1/8000 on my SL. I have tried every setting, manual lenses and AF lenses and all the modes and it just gets stuck at 1/8000 sec. Selecting Hybrid and or Electronic shutters wont go higher than 1/8000 sec. Maybe it's something in the settings however in 2-3 months of this camera it's never shot art 1/16000 or higher than 1/8000 sec. I get clipped images at maximum shutter of 1/8000.

This looks like a bug on SL3. I confirm that in A mode, the camera cannot reach 1/16000; it can only be in M or S mode. SL2 can use 1/16000 in A mode. Could you please report it?

Dear All,

I'm a Quality Manager at Leica Camera. I want to confirm the current situation.

This issue is a little more complicated, and has two aspects. But first the actual, implemented, specification: The S/M mode supports up to 1/16000s exposure time, while P/A mode only up to 1/8000s (the reason is shutter restrictions in combination with steering algorithm).

The two issues:

1) We have a overexposure bug with setting 1/8000s in P and A mode, which will be fixed with next FW update (v2.0.0).

2) We added a new feature request to also add 1/160000s to P/A mode, which will need more time/ressources to implement because of the need to ensuring that the updated algorithm has no side effects. Target is later updates (v3.0.0).

Best regards,

[Ken Abrahams]

Thank you Matthius for this update on the "shutter bug".
