OK, Live View is new to me and I'm still trying to to get a hold of things and to how it might improve getting images in focus.

3. Select your trimming.

 

What does that mean.?

I think this is way they say "frame your image" in Solms. Either that, or it's a list of options for when you are having your hair cut...

William, I think is "search the part, object or zone of image you are interested in focusing" by mean of amplifying x5 or x10, for instance. (Forget my answer, I'm spanish, Chris knows much better than I the English meanings).

Mark is right.

 

The German language in the manual is terrible, and the English is even worse. Obviously, a few Germans at a Leica thought their limited English skills were good enough to do the translation from German to English themselves. Here in Germany, we call this "English for Runaways" (English for Advanced Learners), after a skit from the '70s by a famous German comedian.

...and please be careful: if you select the wrong trimming, you may end up with a dishomogeneous image (at least when looking for dust spots)...

I so believe it is a shame Leica could not get true translation for us.

 

Also, it is truly crazy the way it magnifies the center only and if you want to check the focus somewhere else in the frame you must move the camera versus move the magniifed section like with most other CMOS cameras. Even many CCD cameras have allowed for this function for years now. I'm no expert on FW updates, but it should not be too difficult as they already have it on the S.

Procedure

1. Turn on live view mode using the LV button (25).

2. Use the focusing ring on the lens (14) to focus on the desired

subject details.

To make the setting easier and increase the accuracy of the setting,

you can enlarge a central detail of the monitor image. You can call up

this function in two ways.

For occasional use:

1. Press the focus button (3).

• The monitor image shows

–– the enlarged detail

–– the setting dial symbol with the possible enlargement /

reduction directions

–– the current zoom factor.

You can change the zoom factor using the setting dial - either

5x or 10x.

2. Use the focusing ring on the lens (14) to focus on the desired

subject details.

For continuous use:

1. In the main menu (see p. 154/246) select Focus Aid (page 3,

SETUP section), and

2. Select On in the sub-menu.

• As soon as you turn the focusing ring on the lens (14), the

enlarged detail described above appears.

You can change the enlargement as required using the setting dial

(29) or call up the unenlarged 1x view of the entire monitor area.

The PDF from the Leica site is better ...

No, it isn't.

Over here you select trimming with roast British turkey - cranberry, gravy, stuffing...

[rramesh]

I believe Braun is a German company as well. I've not read the manual yet on my new shaver. Maybe there's something about live view there.

What is a British Turkey?

It's a recipe not a type of bird.

I understand it's a "feature" of the sensor, not software - I guess there's a specific zone that can output data at full res, not binned video res.

Please tell me it is not stuffed with something called Bangers......

Many a true word..... No, not actually stuffed, but bangers (usually chipolatas to be precise) traditionally form part of the trimmings. Having said that though, some recipes suggest sausagemeat as one of the stuffings, as distinct from actual sausage trimmings. But everybody's mother has their own recipe for turkey stuffing, whose relative merits or otherwise will generate endless controversy (We usually avoid all this, and have a Beef Wellington for our Christmas Dinner!)
