Where can one find the battery charge level? What's the best way to extend the battery life? If I shoot DNG/JPG, where do the JPGs end up? I don’t see them when I import the files into Lightroom. Are they the ones transferred over to the Leica Photos? If one shoots A for aperture, shutter speed, and focus, is it the same as Full Auto in Scene Mode? I notice the photos I take in Black and White turn to color when I import them into Lightroom. Importing the B&W photo into Leica Fotos shows it is B&W, which I assume is so that it can be shared. My question is: Are there specific Lightroom presets that show the Leica style? I occasionally get the red box with spinning circle. Why does it do that? I assume it’s writing to disk but I’ve had occasions where I haven’t taken a photo at all, so there’s nothing to “write to disk.” Can I use the Leica Q2 LCD panel to focus/shoot like my Canon 5D Mark IV? Maybe I’m wrong but I recall seeing a video of a Leica Q doing so. Does changing the user profile also change what’s found on the favorites menu? Is there any sort of logic for how to set up the FN versus the wheel button? I appreciate their usefulness but I find I can’t remember what’s where and I end up going back to the menu button. Any suggestions on how to set it up logically?

Dear Leica friends, As a former M9 user, I'm back after years with an M 10R. Over the years, the path led through Sony, Fuji (APSC + medium format), Oly and Ricoh. Very often I adapt lenses between 1932 and 1965. Now I got my M 10R, various lenses from CZ, VC, Wetzlar, Canon 50 0.95, Nikkor Kogaku Nippon Japan are available. I feel I am now back home. and my heart is full of good emotions. The latest is the VC 50 1.0 with which I took the photos. I hope you enjoy the fact that I am showing the first test shots here, even if they are not demanding. I reduced the images, but I find the coloring and plasticity to be good and recognizable. In the future I will post my recordings in the subject threads. I hope you don't mind reading my statement. My main shots are street, portrait, street art and occasionally urban and landscape shots. I have a first question: What is your experience with exposure correction? I usually love - 0.3 to - 0.7. Is it also an acceptable way for you to capture RAW and Jpeg? I look forward to a friendly cooperation and your benevolent criticism. As so often, always good light

This is quite the transition and shows how user-friendly the Q2 really is. I’m trying out the M10R with the Summilux-M 1.4/35 ASPH and an older Summicron-M 2/50. Using the 50 is a lot easier for some reason (although I’m not sure how it’s listed in the menu for choosing a lens manually). The EVF lines are brighter and the patch larger making focusing easier. Using the 35 the lines are dimmer and the patch smaller, and it’s really distracting seeing both the lens and the lens hood while composing an image. What am I missing? thank you

Hello! I have been selling all my Nikon SLR gear to purchase something that I can just go and use. For 20 years I have had numerous lenses and cameras and just got tired of lugging it all around. So, after lots of video watching, reading and speaking with friends and comparing brands and models, I visited my “local” Leica shop yesterday.....ordered the Q2! Looking forward to “learning photography” again and slowing down with my shooting. Looking forward to the conversations here. Hope to have the camera, ready to learn, within 2 weeks. Cheers!!
