Yes that's a good thought thanks Eric. I tried a reset with no change and
then tried to reinstall the new firmware. However it just reports
'complete' immediately and then no change in the behaviour. I'll try the
grip on another M tomorrow at my dealers. If the fault is there then Leica
here will just replace it for me. Otherwise I am going to be a very sad
customer if the fault is in my camera (serviced for impact damage 6 months
ago).



Cheers
