Follow Focus; Function Behavior - Leica SL2-S Instructions Manual

FOLLOW FOCUS

EN
This function facilitates automatic transitions to specified focus
settings (focus positions). Up to three such focus positions can be
pre-configured and optionally be set up with a delay time. When a
focus position is accessed, the camera will automatically focus on
the set distance. The transition will then be achieved smoothly and
with a configurable speed. That way, soft, almost unnoticeable
transitions are created. Prerequisite is that the relevant distances
are known beforehand.
The specified focus positions can be accessed individually or in an
automated sequence.
