What does a M240 have in common with a Polaroid Land 250?

This may sound like a strange question, but today I discovered a common effect that I have seen in the Leica M240 and the Polaroid Land 250, but it is not there in my M8.

Who can guess it? 😀

Something pops out of your Leica when you press the shutter release?

Wrong guess 🙂
It has to do with taking photos of a sunset.

OK, I will explain.
When taking photos of the setting sun, The M8's sensor manages to allow a bright hotspot (sun) in the images without turning the white-yellow sun into a black spot, which is what the Polaroid Land 250 gave me a while ago and which is also what the M240 does. Is it the sensor or is it the exposure system?

The sun is getting solarized on the Polaroid film then - you are saying your M240 solarizes the sun?? Are you sure your highlight clipping indicator isn't flashing? I haven't used a 240 but my Nikon can be set to flash on clipped highlights (they flash black).

Yes, the highlight indicator was flashing.
I need to inspect the image file. I saw on the screen this blackening of the sun.

I have now inspected the images, and there are no dark spots in images by the M240.
