Using A Leica R Lens; Disabling Lens Detection - Leica M10-R Instruction Manual

Notes
• Many lenses have their item number engraved on the opposite
side of the depth of field scale.
• The list also includes lenses that used to be available without
encoding (pre-June 2006). Newer lenses are all provided with
encoding and can therefore be automatically detected.
• When using the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21 f/4 ASPH., the set
focal length is not transferred to the camera housing will
therefore also not be included in the Exif picture dataset. You
can, however, enter the focal length manually.
• Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50 f/4 ASPH., on the other hand, comes
equipped with the means for mechanical transmission of the set
focal length to the camera need for mirroring the correct
bright-line frame in the viewfinder. The focal length is scanned
by the camera electronics and the information is used for focal
length-specific corrections. Due to space limitations, the menu
only contains an item number (11 625). The two other variants
– 11 890 and 11 894 – can be used as well and the menu
settings will apply.

USING A LEICA R LENS

The lens type must also be entered manually when attaching a
Leica R lens via the Leica R adapter. The camera will automatically
switch to when a Leica R lens is attached, no matter what
Manual R Manual R
setting existed originally. You will have to select the lens type from
the list.

DISABLING LENS DETECTION

Lens detection can optionally be disabled completely. That makes
sense if the recording will not be automatically corrected (DNG and
JPG) to maintain the characteristic recording features of a lens.

Note
• No lens information will be written to the Exif (Exchangeable
Image File Format) data of the recording when lens detection is
disabled.
