Those problems seem to have appeared due to the electronics which were a carry over from the R3, which unfortunately I felt from all the grief encountered by most f the people I know who used them it was only useful as an anchor on a boat! Having said that, there are many R3 users quite delighted with their R3, nary a problem. However I've never personally met one who hasn't had a whack of problems. My suggestion? Send it to Leica for servicing and or get your money back and buy another mode, I certainly wouldn't entertain a "doing it yourself" repair. you might be writing it off all to-gether! I'm sure if you wait a bit there will be a number of suggestions on this matter. ted
