In Live View Mode; Focus Peaking - Leica M10-R Instruction Manual

IN LIVE VIEW MODE

(WITH ASSIST FUNCTIONS)
You can set the image sharpness in Live View mode via the screen
image – it will show the image object at the exact sharpness as it is
rendered by the lens based on the distance and aperture setting.
Your camera offers two useful assist functions to facilitate and
improve setting accuracy:
– The magnification of an (initially) central cropped section of the
screen image (Zooming).
– Marking of screen image sections where subject elements are in
clear focus (Focus Peaking)
The functions can be automatically activated during focusing or
can be accessed independently.

FOCUS PEAKING

This assist function highlights the edges of in focus subject
elements in color. The color can be user-specified.

• All subject elements that are rendered in focus with the
selected distance setting are marked with a silhouette in the
selected color.
Notes
• Focus peaking is based on object contrast, i.e. differences
between light and dark of the subject elements. As a result, high
contrast subject elements could be marked, even if they are not
completely in focus.
• Display accuracy decreases when a wide-angle lens is used with
a small aperture (= high depth of field).
