SL2-S screen flickering with specific M lens

When I use an M lens (specifically the 75mm summilux f1.4 vIII) on the SL2-S, I experience a continuous flickering of the LCD/EVF screen. The problem only seems to happen with this lens. I am using the Leica adapter and the lens is not coded.

If I turn off lens profiles in the menu, this tends to sort the problen out, but when I select this lens ... the problem returns. 

Has anyone experienced this problem/any insights?

Thanks

I would be curious to see what the flickering looks like.

I assume you can replicate it outdoors in daylight.

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

Here is a video of the behavior... when I turn off the lens profile for the 75 lux, the flickering stops.

Sorry the video is so short (limited by the size restrictions on the Forum).

I will try it outside ... probably tomorrow.

that is a bug I had too here the exposure was going crazy

It went away for me. try resetting the camera.

Thanks Photoworks 😀

I will try that. I wonder if getting the lens 6-bit coded might help... that is my last resort.

My recollection is that there are two screen refresh rates you can choose from for the EVF (maybe both).  Be sure you are on the slower one and also look to see if you have the same behavior outdoors.  The lights might refresh at the same rate or just a little different from the display refresh rate.

Thanks DavidmkNoble ... i checked and the EVF frame rate is set to 60fps.

It may well have something to do with the lights as it is inconsistent for sure.

Next time its happens I'm going to stand by the window and see what happens.
