[Leica] M9 & M240 Processing

[Aram Langhans]

Hi Tina. Is there any reason for this?  Yes.  Always a reason.  What it is I haven't a clue.

Which module are you in?  I have found that in the library module, sometimes things never pop into focus, and I have to go to the develop module for LR to properly form/load the preview file.  I have noticed this ever since LR5.0 and I cannot remember if the later versions of 4 did this.  However, in the develop module I never have to wait for a second rendering.  Always shows Loading at the bottom of the screen, then pop, it is in focus.  This is using a PC, i7, 16GB RAM and RAW Nikon files converted to DNG on import.

LUG:

I have noticed while editing the files from these two cameras in LR that when I click on the photo to enlarge it to check the focus, it takes a second to "pop" into focus - almost like slide film in a projector pops into focus.

What is strange to me is that the M9 pops once.  Then it's either in or out of focus and I can edit it.
The M240 files pop once but sometimes still looks out of focus.  If I wait a few seconds, it will pop a second time and be sharp as a tack.  I've been in too much of hurry sometimes and reject those files before the second pop.  It's gotten to the point that I always look at which camera I was using to be sure and wait longer for the M240 files to come into focus.

Is there any reason behind this?

Tina
