Today, in Singapore, I collected my Leica SL and 24-90 lens, exactly two weeks after placing the pre-order.

 

Battery is now on the charger and, if it stops raining, I might test it tonight with Christmas lights in Orchard Road.

Hi Jono - is the firmware any different in the retail version from what you saw earlier?

 

One thing I noticed differently from demo model I played with 2 weeks ago was at least one extra button customization. You can now assign the long-press on any of the 6 buttons to "Load User Profile". I like this feature a lot as I use the user profiles to get myself back to a "known state" after I've been fiddling with settings on the fly. I have all four user profiles set to different shooting styles: Single, Continuous, Manual and Video. I have assigned "Load User Profile" to the LV button. Tonight I used it to change shooting styles and to get back to a base state. Very useful.

Ah, this will be fun then. I figured it might diverge somewhat from what was in the manual and available on the demo model last week.

Well, we have one common preference.

 

Buttons (long press):

- TL: Focus Mode
- BL: AF Mode
- TR: Exposure Compensation
- BR: ISO
- LV: Load User Profile
- FN: Drive Mode
 
User Profile:
1. Photo - Single (A, 100 ISO, AFs)
2. Photo - Continuous (P, Auto ISO, AFc)
3. Photo - Manual (M, ISO 100, MF, Peaking)
4. Video (T, 1/50, Auto ISO, AFs)
 

I suspect that, over time, I'll find some of these less useful and will refine them into a permanent set.

 

Regards

Peter
