Capture Assistants Not Working | Leica CL

Hey gang - wondering if anyone else out there is having the same issue I am presently facing in trying to enable some camera's capture assistance features on my Leica CL?

I'm presently using Camera Firmware Version 2.2. Here's the items within the Capture Assistants section of the menu and a rundown of the functionality I 'have/don't have' for each:

• Grid Setup - Working, no issues here.
• Clipping - Does not display.
• Horizon - Does not display (this is the function that I'd really like to enable)
• Histogram - Does not display.

Troubleshooting so far:

• Disabled then Enabled (and vice-versa) for each function. No dice, doesn't make a difference for the display of Clipping, Horizon, or Histogram. Only the Grid Setup functions as it should.
• I've looked for items elsewhere in the menu that might correspond to the functions that I can't get to work. Maybe something is cancelling out their functionality? Can't see anything though that might be the culprit?

Is anyone else out there having this problem? This has only arisen after I updated to the most recent firmware (2.2). I can't quite remember though if the missing horizon/level gauge immediately went away directly after the firmware's installation.

Did you try to press the directional pad's central button?

Well, that did the trick!

In past troubleshooting, I'd pushed all the directional arrows outside of that central button, but it looks like I failed to do the obvious. Thanks for pointing that out!

I'm glad it was a bone-headed error on my part versus a more serious issue with the camera. 😅

I was about to suggest that you are unlikely to find a 'gang' on this forum, but would be unlucky not to find an expert or two. A stalwart has come to your rescue.I am pleased to see. We are lucky to have a wide body of experience located worldwide. Welcome William.

Thanks very much David! I've certainly noticed that this group (not gang 😄) has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience. Thanks for allowing me to pick your brains every now and then! Cheers!
