Hello there,

 

Because of my age I'm not hearing higher frequencies.

 

Possibility next firmware upgrade to have choice between LOW and HIGH?

 

More User with same experience?

 

Thanks

To be honest I can't stand cameras that make noises and it's the first thing I switch off.

 

AF on the SL is so consistent accurate and fast that I have noticed very few occasions when it can't lock focus ..... and there is visual confirmation (green versus black) anyway.

Agreed: you've identified the one option I set on any camera, and any piece of electronic equipment - switch off bleeps

I normally do the same and turn off camera sounds. I can easily hear any focal plane shutter's operating click and find the focus lock and shutter trip beeps very annoying. 

 

However, with my X with its very quiet leaf shutter and with the SL running electronic shutter speed (1/8000-1/16000), there are times when I've turned on a beep sound as audio confirmation so that I know the exposure has been made. I normally have auto-review off and with these two cameras it is sometimes disconcerting that I have no way to gauge whether the exposure was made otherwise, at least not without hitting the review button...

Good opportunity for a company like Leica to look into using haptics for things like confirmation of focus, menu selections, etc.
