mbarsotti Posted January 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, but a Leica enthusiast since many years. I recently re-discovered my good-old Minilux and, hoping the E02 error will not arrive, I am having a lot of fun with it (much more than with my other bunch of digital cameras). Unfortunately I lost the instructions manual, so here I am with a couple of questions: > When using manual focus, is there any indication of correct focusing (in the viewfinder blinking lights) or it is an entirely manual affair? > Is it possible to find the manual in PDF format somewhere on the Net? Thanks in advance to anyone that may help! Regards, M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photofox Posted January 3, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 3, 2008 Hello M. Barsotti You are quite right, the Minilux is a superb compact-camera, I got mine in june 1995 and I have taken hundreds of film with it, though for the last 2 yers I have not been using it. But manual focus is manual fucus - no signal. The instructions to the minilux on page 16 only tells about depth of field Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbarsotti Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks for the answers. Actually, I did the simplest thing, called Leica support, send a fax request, and they will send me a copy of the manual. These days of cheap cameras, you never consider this option... Regards, M.

gylee Posted January 7, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2008 This is perhaps one of the advantages of the CM. It gives you a focus indicator in manual focus mode. G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZDavid Posted September 13, 2008 Share #9 Posted September 13, 2008 Oops, that's in French. Camera manuals from Oldtimer Cameras sells printed manuals. Good luck with the minilux. It has a cracker lens. Mine succumbed to the E05 error unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peixesloucos Posted April 4, 2009 Share #10 Posted April 4, 2009 Hello, I am a minilux owner since July 2008. Shot 7 rolls (5 color print, 1 b/w and 1 slide) until now and I am amazed by the results. Feel free to visit my flickr page: leica minilux - a set on Flickr I want to try manual shooting but the users guide do not help me much about these settings. Can anyone explain me how to use aperture settings? I have visited some websites to learn about it but still not covered it. I basically shoot landscape outdoor photos in sunny or partly cloudy days. I also try to make portraits shoots indoor/outdoor. If you can share your knowledge on correct aperture settings or some interesting links for a beginner like me, I would appreciate. thanks, Ethem Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waileong Posted April 5, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 5, 2009 I have the manual in English. The focus distance is set based on the object in the centre of the viewfinder. If it can't be set, then it assumes infinity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
