    erlingmm started the topic Shutter delay in the forum Leica S (Typ 006) 11 years ago

    Sometimes I experience that the shutter does not release when I press the shutter button. I use manual focus, with autofocus on the joystick. This happens even if focus confirmation is OK.
    If I hold the shutter button down, it will release after a few seconds. Is there some setting I have overlooked?

      Can you please explain the technical differences between the S and the S-E, or is it only the guarantee?

        Josh Lehrer replied 11 years ago

        Erling, there are no technical differences between the cameras, only cosmetic, warranty, and included accessories.

    Well, this is certainly good news. Following through on exactly what they said they would do, Leica has announced a more permanent fix for the CCD sensor corrosion issue that affects M9, M9-P, M Monochrom […]

      David,
      I am one of the people who have an M9 with corrosion sitting in NJ and just got off the phone with Leia.
      I was told it could take up to 3 months to have my CCD replaced and it will not be with the newly announced CCD, I would have to ship my M9 back to them again when they start receiving the new sensors and they have no ETA on availability. He also mentioned that the current CCD replacement comes with a 3 year warranty.

      Oh well looks like I may must bite the bullet and go for there M240 /M-P upgrade program. I was really hoping on getting back my M9 sooner, selling it and then purchase a Leica “QM2” M240 / M-P at a reduced cost.
