bags27 Posted March 26, 2019 Share #62 Posted March 26, 2019 Question: is it possible to use a non-Leica flash on the CL which works as well? If so, any recommendations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, this is the reason why I did not upgrade from T to TL2! The lack of flash on TL2 and not being able to use a flash when you have EVF on! But I am glad I didn't do the upgrade as I love my CL! I made some tests with 3rd party flashes such as Nikon that I already had, but I was not convinced!... It seems some people use 3rd party manually. But somehow, it did not work for me and the result didn't seem sure to me. Leica uses other brands but makes a modification for leica camera. For instance, Leica flash made by Metz was modified for Leica and the same model of Metz is not working on Leica (CL). I found a very reasonable second hand but in perfect condition SF 24D. I am not using flash often, but it is good to have one just in case. SF 24D is working well and enough for my need.! Good luck Ken. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted April 1, 2019 Share #66 Posted April 1, 2019 Could someone please explain Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on the CL? How can it be turned off or put on automatic? On the Q that is an easy thing, but on every menu I try on the CL it seems to be set to "on". Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I had thought, too. But it certainly appears in my menu system as "on" and non-selectable. And here from the CL manual. so, does this mean that its default is "on" but only with SL lenses? Welcome, dear visitor!

dau Posted April 2, 2019 Share #70 Posted April 2, 2019 The CL does not do OIS. It's the lenses that do it, and obiously only those lenses that are so built. You can not change the setting in the CL if there is no lens that can do OIS. Once such a lens is mounted, I presume that you can disable or enable OIS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted April 2, 2019 Share #71 Posted April 2, 2019 thanks and interesting. and that will likely include the new Panasonic and Sigma lenses, I bet, part of the reason for yesterday's firmware upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_w Posted April 2, 2019 Share #72 Posted April 2, 2019 Question Is it necessary to update the firmware on Leica TL lenses (as well as the firmware in the CL camera, which I did today)? Both my lenses (23 and 35) show firmware version 1.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_w Posted April 4, 2019 Share #73 Posted April 4, 2019 Question Is it possible to have auto review only on the back screen? At the moment it seems to take place both in the EVF and on the back screen, so if I want to take several quick shots in succession my view through the EVF freezes. I do use auto review on the back screen habitually with my other cameras and I would like the CL to work in the same way. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't think it is possible but even if it were, it wouldn't prevent your EVF issue i fear. Don't ask me why please but the only way i know of is to set auto review to off. All my digicams are set this way BTW. Not a big deal to me but i don't chimp much so YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_w Posted April 4, 2019 Share #75 Posted April 4, 2019 Thanks. It helps to know it can't be done - I'll stop searching the manual. This is my first mirrorless camera and I'm trying to set it up like the OVF on my M. I will need to change that particular habit. The Instruction Manual entry which confused me is on page 28 under Display Settings: EVF ExtendedEVF Extended: Photographs always with viewfinder, playback or menu control always on screen this sounds like what I need, but it does not work like that. When I set it, playback still works through the EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must, of course, use an M to CL adapter. By Jaapv: 11 mm. plus the thickness of the adapter. Obviously the flange distance must be the same as an M camera (minus a safety margin) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use virtually any flash in simple manual or A (auto-thyristor) mode, but none except Leica's will work in TTL mode. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreyg Posted May 26, 2019 Share #80 Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Just got the CL a week or so ago, been working well with both the 18-56 and manual M lenses just fine. Set it up for EVF only, with histogram and horizon line "on". They work well with the M lenses, in manual operation. When the zoom lens is put on, oddly neither the histogram and the horizon are visible, although both are still in the menus as "on". Any thoughts?
