RECORDING VIDEO
The settings described in this chapter only apply for video operations.
They are therefore part of the video menu and must always be ac-
cessed and configured from within video mode (see chapter "Camera
operation" in the section "Menu Control"). Any menu items of the
same name in the photo menu are not affected.
Notes
• As only part of the sensor area is used in video recordings, the rel-
evantly effective focal length is increased, which slightly reduces
the size of the image sections.
• The max. file size for uninterrupted video recording is 96 GB. Once
a recording exceeds this file size, the overrun will be automatically
stored in a new file.
• Some menu items are unavailable in Video mode. The text in
the relevant line is displayed in gray to signify the existence of a
submenu.
• Unlike in photo mode, the joystick is used exclusively for focusing
(metering and saving) in video mode. A coupling of exposure me-
tering and focusing is not done, no matter which metering method
is selected.
• The automatic LCD panel and EVF shutdown will also deactivate
the AF system (see p. 85). We therefore recommend the
setting if autofocus is to be used in HDMI recordings.

Unlike other video modes, the shutter speeds are not set as abso-
lutes, but as shutter angles, relative to the selected frame rate.
In conjunction with suitable lenses. the Cine mode allows the Leica

independent of camera settings.
