CYBORA Posted January 25, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) As you know, centre weighted metering is used when using the OVF. It is related to a meter different from sensor metering because the sensor is not exposed by any light AFAIK. I sometimes switch to LV mode and still use the OVF to use an alternative metering mode that is done by the calculations of the exposures on sensor. Is there any possibility to let the light exposes the sensor while using the rangefinder in order to use alternative metering modes ? The LCD is activated in LV mode of course and energy consumption is high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookedart Posted January 25, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2017 Wasn't there a way to use spot and evaluative metering with the rangefinder on the m typ 240? I believe you could do it but it would have to open up the shutter to take a light meter reading first. This is of course without actually activating live view. Page 180 of the manual found here: https://us.leica-camera.com/content/download/100592/844581/version/3/file/Instruction_Leica+M+Typ+240_DE-EN.pdf 1. In the main menu (see p. 154/246) select Light Metering Mode (page 1, CAMERA section), and 2. In the sub-menu select – Classic shutter metering, for the conventional metering method described above, or – Advanced sensor metering if you want to be able to choose between the three metering methods described below. I'll take a look at the M10's manual but I'm sure it would be similar. One thing to note: • For the metering methods based on the image sensor, the shutter must be open and it is then closed and re-cocked when the function is cancelled. Of course, this is audible and may result in a slight delay in the shutter release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookedart Posted January 25, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 25, 2017 After reading the M10's manual it looks like this "advanced metering" mode isn't available. The other metering methods are only available in live view.

CYBORA Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted January 25, 2017 Is there any reason to change the design of the metering modes on rangefinder mode on M10 ? We may request the previous approach on the next firmware if possible via software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookedart Posted January 25, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 25, 2017 Its a good question, perhaps they feel the advanced metering mode on the m240 is flawed. Or like I seem to keep seeing, maybe there just wasn't time to implement it and they left it out since it wasn't a critical function. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted January 25, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 25, 2017 Sounds like a FW issue? But I am not bothered about it as I never used it with the OVF as the delay you incurred was a nuisance. Useful with EVF though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
