Autofocus metering methods/Operating modes

For optimum adjustment of the AF system to different subjects,
situations and your compositional ideas, you can choose between
five AF metering methods on the Leica TL2.
► In the main menu, select
► Select
► Select the required setting in the submenu
Spot/single point measurement
Both metering methods detect only those parts of the subject
within the relevant AF frame.
• The metering zones are indicated by a small AF frame.
The very small metering zone for spot measurement allows focus-
ing on tiny details of the subject.
The slightly longer single point metering zone is less critical when
focusing, and therefore easier to handle while still allowing selec-
tive measuring.
The AF function can also be used for picture series in which the
part of the subject you want to be in focus is always at the same
off-center point in the image.
With both metering methods, you can do this by moving the AF
frame, which is otherwise positioned in the center of the monitor
screen, to another point. This can be done using menu control or
directly.
