SOURCE: Casio Exilim EX-Z850 Red Light Flashing
I have been having this same problem. It doesn't happen everytime, but there have been a number of occasions when my Exilim Z850 would display a blinking red light and refuse to take pictures. I thought it was a battery issue, so I tried buying a new battery, eventhough I observed this problem soon after the camera was newly purchased. The new battery didn't help resolve the issue. So I do hope someone out there has figured out what's wrong and will let us know.
SOURCE: Loss of function
Whilst it is still under warranty you must return it to the seller.
That is your first move - it is their responsibility.
The second is to contact the makers support site and tell them.
Bear in mind price /value not withstanding small electronic devices are replaced not repaired.
SOURCE: flash
Are you still using alkaline batteries? If so, alkaline batteries just don't have the power for more than a few pics in a digital camera. Some may even have problems just powering startup of the camera or charging the flash. Digital cameras for the most part should only be used with rechargeable NiMH batteries. Retailers sells these for around $7 for a package of four (about $15-19 for the batteries with charger). Keep in mind they'll save you big bucks in the long run over alkalines, AND they'll last for at least 100 pictures per charge (and probably many many more). You'll be very pleased with their performance, and may slap yourself for not buying them sooner. When at the store, look on the package for a power rating of at least 2500 mah.
SOURCE: The metering of my M8 is always over 1 2/3 stop,
Leicas are norrmally quite good on metering (within the confines of spot metering).
Have you checked whether any exposure compensation has already been programmed in? I don't think it resets itself, so if its consistently 5/3 of a stop out, then it might be that.
Page 107 of the user manual shows how to adjust / check..
Manual is here:

If its not that, you could use that function as a short term measure to consistently change the exposure.
You don't say how old it is.... if its still under warranty (actually, even if it isn't but its still reasonably new) I'd be tempted to correspond with Leica directly (write first - they respond quite quickly) to establish what they think the problem and solution should be. The 8 went to 8.2 quite quickly (by Leica standards), so its always worth an initital sounding out (which costs nothing). If it is their fault, they'll instruct you what to do next.
SOURCE: I own a Leica DIGILUX
there is problem with key switches may be there is some due or some water drop goes in side. check by opening your camera if you find then clean it.see what hapen if still problem need to replace key switches.
Testimonial: "Amazingly Prompt helpful particularly regarding Leica cameras as there are not many authorised service centres in India. Thanks. SK Pillai"
