M5: 2-3 seconds shutter delay when shooting dark scenes (with manual flash and manual focus)
11

when shooting dark scenes (eg 1/10 F4.5 ISO 6400 with the 11-22) and using flash
the M5 needs up to 2-3 seconds when pressing the shutter all the way down immediately,
even when Focus is set to manual and when flash is set to manual so that no preflash is fired

In the same scene without flash or in brighter scenes this does not occur.

I tested this with several lenses, ( even without lens), with the internal and with external flash
I also tried "all" settings which could have an influence, and reset-ted the Camera

if you press the shutter half way for that time it fires immediately

we talked about that here (in German)

Canon Germany confirmed that in a mail from today...
