Thanks, really appreciate it. When it freezes I am typically only viewing prior to pressing the shutter button to write to the card.

I just wanted to be sure. Are you pressing the button while the camera is still writing to the card?

yes I do that everytime after a photo dump to the mac

Were you able to try a different card to see if this was the culprit?

Yeah man I picked up one of these https://www.lexar.com/product/lexar-professional-1667x-sdxc-uhs-ii-card-silver-series/ and everything's been great so far.

So usually I reformat the card after every shoot when I do a photo dump to my mac. What's the verdict on this ? Is it fine for the life of the card ?

UPDATE: It's now been 4 full months since I switched the card to the Lexar Silver Series and I've had no issues with freezing up or anything. Hope this helps if some others are/have been experiencing similar issues.

Well, my live view issue continued to persist and occasionally the LCD would stop functioning all together in any mode. I sent the unit to Leica and I am sad to report it needs $1,355 worth of repairs!

It is pristine and has seen very light use, so I'm a bit bummed and perplexed.

What did they say the problem was?

Here is the estimate:
repair/replace electronics adjust range finder
check, adjust, clean
Leather covering
Imageelectronic 40MP, complete (DM)

I recall reading somewhere that if the problem is electronics related the body has to be sent to Germany for full diagnosis and repair, so I think this initial NJ estimate assumes all electronic components must be replaced.

Looks like you are getting an almost new camera.

Did they say how long it was going to take? Repair Turnaround Time can be insane at Leica.
