Exposure simulation in EVF

[Philip Freedman]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

The CL has what the handbook calls exposure simulation which is the EVF in live view showing how light or dark the shot will be, facilitating use of exposure compensation before taking the shot instead of having to take a fresh shot.  The handbook of the Leica Q does not mention this and I do not know if it has been or can be added to the Q by a firmware update. Can anyone help?

Yes, it does and it has saved me a few times from leaving a manual setting on when I didn't intend for it.  You'll find it mentioned on page 187 of the Q manual.  I'll paste part of it here:

Using menu control

1. Select Exposure Compensation in the menu

The further operation is identical in both cases.
2. Select the desired value on the corresponding scale, details on

how to proceed can be found on page 158. Values of +3 to -3EV are available in 1⁄3EV increments.
• During setting, you can observe the effect on the monitor

image, which gets darker or lighter. The set compensation value is displayed on the light meter in the normal monitor image. When the menu option is opened using the FN button, the scale will disappear again after 4s, further adjustments can only be made within this time.
