Exposure Modes - Leica Q3 Instruction Manual

HIGHLIGHT-WEIGHTED
This method considers the entire image field. The exposure value
will, however, be adjusted to very bright subject elements. That pre-
vents the overexposure of bright subject elements without having
to measure them individually. This metering method is particularly
useful for objects that are significantly more brightly lit than the
rest of the frame (e.g. people in a spotlight), or that reflect the light
significantly (e.g. white clothing).

EXPOSURE MODES

You can choose one of four video shooting modes:
– Program AE mode (P)
– Aperture-priority mode (A)
– Shutter-priority mode (S)
– Manual setting (M)
These four "classic" modes are accessed via a relevant setting of
the shutter-speed dial and the aperture ring. A correct setting for
the menu item (see p. 206) is prerequisite for the

use of P, A, S and M. The menu item

that setting takes precedence over settings on the physical control
elements. The shutter-speed dial and the aperture ring will in that
case have no assigned function.

speeds for custom settings or those available for automatic set-
