TK! Posted July 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all,I played arround with the different focussing options the Q offers. Iam quite impressed what Leica implemented. But finally I came back toplain non-continous "center focus" for everyday use. What do youthink? What do I miss?Best whishesTK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanlvh Posted July 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2015 does the camera have spot focus or can you move center focus to other parts of the image? I realize moving center focus sounds silly, but wonder if it can be used as spot focus? thank u joanlvh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky1981 Posted July 31, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 31, 2015 I use center spot focus on all of my AF cameras 99% of the time with the focus/recompose method. I occasionally trust the camera to decide what to focus on and rarer still I shift the spot focus point. I should probably do the latter more often as the focus/recompose approach can cause problems but I've never encountered them enough to change.

thighslapper Posted July 31, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 31, 2015 Never shifted it either as I am now an ingrained lock focus and recompose guy from years of Leica M use ....... Endless complaints about not having this feature in LV on the Q's older brothers ..... but I personally have little use for it. Useful probably when tripod mounted or when using the remote app on a phone/tablet though..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted August 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted August 1, 2015 We need an option to set the function key to cycle thru the options. I agree and leave mine in center, but only because I dont want to have to dig thru the menu to change it. Leica please give us better options for FN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted August 3, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) In theory, we miss focus when we recompose. In 50 years of doing this, I can not remember missing a photo because of it. Now to clarify, it takes too long to move focus point and opportunity is lost. If we are in a commercial studio situation and use large aperture where a miss would seem unprofessional, best you get the focus right. If the camera has multiple focus points and follows the subject in a dynamic way, sports guys can love it. I do landscapes, portraits at f 8.0, or still life. I do not know if the outer points even function. I would like an electronic RF that works at 1.4 and it needs to be user tunable because I refuse to keep sending cameras in for minor adjustments. If we can not do minor maintenance like remaping a sensor or have readout made a different way, I refuse to fuss with Leica . I do not want to be a pro with 3 cameras, one in use, one in repair, one back being checked out. If they can not up the QC, I may have to look elsewhere.
