DLux109 - ISO setting and Filters Selection


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Another complaint about the User manual again.  

 

I'm in a dilemma I cannot seem to be able to select my ISO nor can I use the filter selection button.  

 

My current setting is Apecture Priority but there seem to have an asterik on top (Intelligence setting) and ISO is iISO.  Readthe manual and cannot figure out how to change the ISO nor use the filter button.

 

I believe I can have a quicker answer in this forum than reading the manual.

 

Help !!!

It sounds like your camera is set to Snapshot mode.  If the camera is operating properly,  pushing the "A" button on the top of the camera activates this mode (and overrides many settings you expect  to be able to set while in Aperture Priority mode).    Pushing A again deactivates the snapshot mode.    See pages 59, 75, and 89 of the detailed instruction manual for details on which features are abled or disabled by Snapshot mode.  The detailed instruction manual is not the same as the abbreviated printed version that comes with the camera.  It is on the CD that comes with the camera or should be available as a pdf download on the Leica website.  Neither instruction manual is brilliantly written (understatement) but most of the information one needs is there.  You can print out the detailed instructions if having a "hard copy" is easier to use and access than the digital pdf version provided.  There is also at least one third party book with instructions on using the D Lux 109 available for purchase.

 

If I am sharing information you already know, I apologize.  I am offering a "quick" answer here on the forum but reading or referring to the detailed manual will likely save you the most time in the long run.

Thanks.  Yes, it was as simple as that.
