SPECIAL SHOOTING MODES

IMAGE OVERLAY

Leica SL2-S allows a transparent overlay over previous shots as an
image composition tool. That way, objects can be recorded from
the exact same position at different times, or various objects can be
aligned exactly against the same background in multiple shooting
sessions. The transparent overlay image will not be visible in the
finished image.
One usage scenario would be the creation of an image series in front
of a tree across an entire year. The precise alignment of the image
would also allow the creation of a time lapse shooting.
