[Leica] M8 fun cut short

[hewthompson at mac.com (Hugh Thompson)]

Steve - it may have been the sequence of commands that I worked on, I  
was changing ISO and ...... what, I don't know what happened next,  
possibly I was changing the ISO before the camera was fully awake.   
In other words I should have waited for the red light to go out.

I have had some interesting phenomenon, such as a blown out image in  
the middle of a series, and that has happened to other people, also  
the monitor was showing black streaks horizontally when in image mode  
(not in playback mode), but I put that down to the cold.  Both of  
these issues were reported by earlier emails to the dealer, so he can  
pass on the information to the Leica rep.
