I was brought up using an MX, but had never even handled the pro camera flagship that was the LX. So I bought one on a well known auction site and it arrived today. It is a stunning bit of kit. All working fine except the "sticky mirror" syndrome means it takes a few shots before it gets into its stride.

I will just have to run some film through it.

What exposure mode does this happen in ?

Hello, I was wondering, do we actually know/is there some rational explanation behind not being able to use pixel shift in B mode?

Thanks!
It works by merging 4 identical images. When using bulb mode how can you ensure you have 4 identical images ? Your shutter speed will be slightly different in each one.

Stupid moment

Why would you want to short out contacts it's electrical you short out any power circuit it wil cause damage
By "short out" we mean that bare metal (not a lens connector) touches the cameras connectors. We don't mean sparks, smell of burning, "OMG what have I done" moments

Had you set the camera to only focus with the back AF button? I've thought the same as you before now and that was the reason.
Hi John,

Sorry if I sound dense or stupid but how do I check this
It will be in the settings. But what happens if you press the AF button on the back of the camera ?

Ok , what happens when you press the AF button on the rear of the camera...ie not by shutter button half press ?

1. Recharge the battery

2. Take the lens off and clean the contacts on both camera and lens with a lint-free cloth

3. Pray
