aficionados Posted October 11 Share #1 Posted October 11 Advertisement (gone after registration) Did anyone notice this? Both Q3 and Q3 43. If the camera is left off for only couple of hours the startup takes a blip of second almost instantaneous. But if it’s left off for quite a long say overnight like 8 hours, the first startup takes longer like 2-3 seconds. Almost like the camera needs some time to sober up after being inebriated for too long 🙂 not an issue but just interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Hi aficionados, Take a look here Q3 takes longer to start after off for longer. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ellisson Posted October 11 Share #2 Posted October 11 Saw the same. So I'll it on before going out to shoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianforber Posted October 11 Share #3 Posted October 11 This is the same on my Q2. Takes more like 5s if I leave it for a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted October 11 Share #4 Posted October 11 I don't have a Q3 43, but I have the same problem. Especially after 8 hours overnight. My wife has commented. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aficionados Posted October 11 Author Share #5 Posted October 11 It seems all the Qs have this kind of phenomenon . Not really a problem but it’s a nuance. And interestingly why? Does the camera electric inside has some sort of timer and it shutdowns everything after a while? Does that mean it doesn’t really turn off when the user turns it off ?

My Q2 never had this problem, but my Q3 sure does. The Q2 fired up almost instantly all the time independent on how long it was off. Been hoping for some sort of firmware fix but probably hardware dependent. Edited October 12 by Aram Langhans Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just turned on my Q after about a week in the bag…it did take a couple seconds. In my five years of ownership this is the first time I noticed. My god, all the photos I’ve probably missed 😂😂 Edited October 12 by bobtodrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellisson Posted October 12 Share #10 Posted October 12 I’m guessing its a microprocessor hardware design feature. Perhaps “on” and “off” circuits with a different thresholds, so that some voltage remains when the camera is turned off that eventually decays completely with time. Kinda of like the “auto off” feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cogito Posted October 12 Share #11 Posted October 12 Saw a youtuber comment on how he liked being able to transfer photos from a Q343 onto his ipad while the Leica was off. Seems there are deeper levels of off/sleep that the camera descends to after longer periods of time. Seems reasonable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjroroek Posted October 23 Share #12 Posted October 23 (edited) its not a problem for me but i noticed it too. not 5 seconds but 2 after 10 hours switched off. More ennoying is that when you view the pictures it starts wirh the first one in stead of the last one after a while off Edited October 23 by jjroroek Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
