dante Posted September 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) If it's not too much to ask, could we have the horizon function visible *while* using the EVF? Even a grid would help here... A lot of us are used to the Universal Wideangle Finder M and its integrated bubble level. Dante Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Hi dante, Take a look here M240 - leveling while shooting?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Hookeye Posted September 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2013 Agree! With EVF and live view it should be entirely possible. It is only a matter of programming and FW. But this (programming) is not Leica's strongest side I am afraid.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted September 17, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 17, 2013 That will in the 2015 FW update I am told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturephoto1 Posted September 17, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 17, 2013 That will in the 2015 FW update I am told. 2015 FW update. It is still 2013. Definitely this is another Leica oversight. This feature is built into my Fujifilm X-E1 showing a green a line when level for either EVF or LCD. Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted September 17, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 17, 2013 Rich I was just joking. Of course, it could have been done. Why such a basic oversight? Who knows why. The level assist on the RX-1 is fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted September 17, 2013 Share #6 Posted September 17, 2013 Even putting the electronic level in an accessible spot, rather than buried 6 levels deep in the menus would be a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannybuoy Posted September 17, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's staggering that such a useful feature is so hidden. It should definitely be an option in LV. How easy that is to implement is up for debate. I won't lose sleep over its omission but would definitely like to see it in the next FW update. Does anyone know what delights Leica have up their sleeves? General bug fixes I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted September 17, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 17, 2013 Don't the lens FOV lines help with vertical and horizontal straightening? cheers Dave S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
