Auxiliary Functions For Manual Focusing - Leica Q Instructions Manual

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS FOR MANUAL FOCUSING

To make it easier to achieve precise settings or to increase the
precision of a setting, the Leica Q offers two features:
• The enlarged display of a middle section.
Reason: The larger the details of the subject are shown, the
better you can assess their focus and the more accurately you
can set the focus.
• The identification of clearly focused subjects
You can have the edges of clearly focused subjects marked in
color so that it is easier to recognize when the optimal setting
has been reached.
The four available colors permit adaptation to any background.

• Enlarged display:
As soon as the focusing dial is turned, the monitor image
switches to display a section that is enlarged by three times
the normal size. An indicator will also appear showing the
enlargement factor and offering the option of changing the
enlargement factor with the set button.
When the set button is pressed, it can be increased to six
times enlargement or the enlargement can be changed to
any value in between.
The normal monitor image can be restored again at any time
by pressing the thumb button.
Approx. 5s after the last turn of the focusing dial, the normal
monitor image will appear again automatically.
The enlargement level that appears first is always the last
one used.
• Marking of clearly focused subjects:
All subject details that are in focus at the set range are
indicated by outlines in the selected color.
Note:
Subjects that are in focus are marked according to subject
contrast, so on the basis of light/dark contrasts.
