oliverfox Posted October 1, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, When I first got the camera I set it up in discreet mode only. I shot for a couple of weeks like that and then decided to give the soft release mode a go because I shoot a lot in low light. However, I immediately noticed that most of my images went soft and blurry even at shutter speeds of 1/180. The subjects are static, so it's not movement that is causing the issue. Am I going crackers or is this something others have noticed or is it perhaps an issue with my camera? Thanks, Oli. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars_bergquist Posted October 1, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2009 Any set trigger on a target gun -- any trigger on a target gun, in fact -- does not only have to 'break' crisply with low pull. It must also not 'fall through', i.e. there must be only an imperceptible amount of travel AFTER the breaking, because that travel, when it suddenly stops, may jar the gun while the bullet is still in the barrel. Maybe this is what has happened to you -- the soft release actually creating camera shake, instead of preventing it? I will have to investigate this if I do receive my M9 before senile dementia sets in. The old man from the Age of Kodachrome II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canlogic Posted October 1, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2009 Mine has been set to discrete with soft release since I got it 2 weeks ago and I have not seen anything like you are describing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted October 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2009 One thing I experienced when activating the soft and discrete mode in the beginning what that my pictures shot out the window of the car (yes, I know!) was empty. I had simply triggered it too early so what I was aiming for had not yet arrived in the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted October 1, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 1, 2009 I will have to investigate this if I do receive my M9 before senile dementia sets in. You will know if senile dementia has sent in if you can't remember how to install the film in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bixi Posted October 2, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 2, 2009 Dealers in New Zealand have no idea when the next shipment of M9s will arrive in the country. I called up the importer to see what they have to say. Even the importer didn't give me a satisfying answer. They think that the shipment has left Germany but they don't really know. This is not a good sign, is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted October 2, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 2, 2009 Hey guys this is not a delivery/availability thread. There is already a thread on that. The OP needs some help. I go with what Lars posted but at 1/180 unless the OP is jabbing the shutter with great force it shouldn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
