mfgworker Posted July 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) If the Q is set to single point AF and I’m shooting a moving subject in continuous mode © does it refocus on every shot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Hi mfgworker, Take a look here continuous shot mode. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lucerne Posted July 30, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Welcome to the forum. Since no one has responded yet, I gave your question some thought because I wasn't sure and didn't want to give weak or incorrect advice.. I've done some research and the clearest analysis of settings required for continuous focus tracking is found on the DPRreview website. We need never stop learning!

chaynes4@me.com Posted March 28, 2018 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I'm interested in disabling "continuous" on the Q. I assume this could be done in firmware. If I'm responding quickly to a situation I inadvertently pull the lever to "C" and I would really like to make both "S" and "C" be single shots.

Leica Guy Posted March 28, 2018 Share #5 Posted March 28, 2018 Good luck with that. The S & C switch has been a minor frustration for many since the camera was first introduced. There is no user selection to disable continuous. The best you can do is be more careful when switching on and select the S. Of course Leica could add an OFF to the menu where continuous fps rate is selected. That would be a desirable band-aid. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailwagger Posted March 30, 2018 Share #6 Posted March 30, 2018 Funny I'm the opposite. It doesnt bother me much to have too many frames, but the opposite, not having enough, does. Leica removed the C position altogether on the M, which means having to go in and out of the menus to enable, disable. In my world, C mode is very often a split second decision... I dont normally rely on it, but when a situation presents itself that requires a series of frames, there's never any time to enable C mode though a menu system. So even if it could be disabled, which it can't, I'd leave it live and just eat the extra frames. The one thing that does bug me related to C mode is playback. Given the black out, when I'm in C shooting a subject moving the frame, its the one time I chimp a bit to see just how well things worked out. I hate the play review feature and the dance necessary to review the set of frames. Quite annoying to treat C mode captures as if they were video. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand your comment, you can disable the 'video' in 'play mode setup' set 'group display mode' to off 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was not about video, per se, but setting the group display mode does indeed disable the stacking of multiple shots taken in continuous mode. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
