[Leica] Re: Have any of you had this happen with the M8?

Gads!

I am obviously doing something wrong with the M8.   I am using the same 
technique as with the M3... focus shoot...move confirm focus shoot... 
move... ad infinitum... When I got the camera I put the Lexar 1.33x in 
it and forgot to format ... it worked anyways (Lexar 2gb 1.33x)  My 
chimping is looking at the histogram once during the shoot.  I have no 
idea what is happening in the buffer.  Good lord, last time I began to 
pay attention to technical details, I crashed all of my photography.  
The major problem I am having is recognizing the frame lines... I am 
used to the M3 and the M6hm.
