Leica M9 freezing while writing to a SDHC memory card and loosing the pictures that were in the buffer. The pictures will appear zero kilobytes on the card.

This failure has happened with two separate new Sandisk Ultra 8GB and two new Lexar Pro 8GB cards. The memory cards were always formatted before use in the camera. On some occasions the freezing happened without pressing the play - just while taking the pictures.

There is a long conversation about the issue in Leica M9 forum:

  • Is that leather coming out of your M9? I notice that my M9-P has leather problem also.

  • @sweemechai Yes, the leather is peeling. It is an easy fix with a superglue, but it is a tool and I have not bothered.

  • Leica has acknowledged the issue. Check out the Leica Forums

  • I didn't install the new firmware and yes, i faced this problem.

  • Happens with mine too. Did you install the new firmware? If so, did you have this problem with the old firmware?
