Auxiliary Displays - Leica M10-D Instruction Manual

An additional T function is available in conjunction with the
self-timer: The shutter will open after the preset delay automatical-
ly if is set and the self-timer is activated by tapping the shutter
B
button. It will remain open – without having to hold down the
shutter button – until the shutter button is tapped again. This
prevents blurring in long-term exposures when the shutter button is
pressed.
In each of these cases, the exposure meter remains deactivated;
after shutter release, however, the digital number display in the
viewfinder counts the elapsed exposure time in seconds.
Notes
• Long exposure times may cause severe image noise.
• After exposures with slower shutter speeds (from approx. 1⁄30 s,
may differ depending on other menu settings), a data processing
procedure will help reduce this annoying phenomenon. The
process will take as long as the exposure. The doubling of the
"exposure" time must be taken into account for long exposure
times. The camera must not be switched off during that time.
Time display is an example.

AUXILIARY DISPLAYS

(When using Visoflex)
HISTOGRAM
Histogram represents the brightness distribution in the picture. The
horizontal axis shows the graduated values from black (left)
through gray to white (right). The vertical axis corresponds to the
number of pixels at each brightness level.
This type of rendering – in conjunction with the impression of the
actual image – allows an additional quick and easy assessment of
the exposure setting.
▸ Press the function button
• The INFO display activates.
• It appears at the top left in the Visoflex.
Notes
• The histogram is always based on the brightness displayed, i.e.
depending on the settings used, it may not represent the final
exposure.
• In picture mode, the histogram should be regarded as a "trend
indicator" and not as a depiction of the exact number of pixels.
• The histogram during rendering may differ slightly from the one
during exposure.
GRID LINES
(Setting via app only)
The grid divides the image frame into nine equal fields. It helps with
e.g. picture composition and camera orientation. You can choose
one of two grid displays in the app. They divide the frame into 3 x 3
or 6 x 4 fields.
