Eclectic Man Posted August 27, 2020 Share #261 Posted August 27, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) With In-Body-Image-Stabilisation, I wonder if it could be used when the camera is mounted on a tripod, to ensure the sensor is as precisely horizontal as possible? I assume that the IBIS can do a certain amount of compensation for 'roll'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Hi Eclectic Man, Take a look here SL2 firmware update request. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Dr. G Posted August 27, 2020 Share #262 Posted August 27, 2020 I would really like to see my DOF preview in the EVF when stopping down. With relatively close up subjects it's a lot of trial and error right now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil! Posted August 27, 2020 Share #263 Posted August 27, 2020 Hi Everyone, I am really enjoying the SL2 , my only suggestion would be to have the option of changing the color of the cross hair of the single point focus. Sometimes it is hard to find the white focus cross hair in the frame if it where a higher visibility color it would make for quicker focusing. Does anyone else find this a problem ? Thanks All👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted August 28, 2020 Share #264 Posted August 28, 2020 If focus point can’t be locked on the SL2 via the Joystick, is this still feasible: https://www.macfilos.com/2016/05/20/2016-5-18-leica-sl-taming-the-wayward-joystick-to-allow-a-fixed-centre-focus-area/ Or does the new focus system make it impossible? Would Firmware enable it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted September 4, 2020 Share #265 Posted September 4, 2020 My SL2 was delivered this morning, so I'm having fun setting it up, and comparing it with the SL. One aspect that I grumbled about with the recent firmware update for the CL that introduced the new touch graphical menu was that one had to press MENU twice to get to the main menu, once to get to the graphical menu, twice to get to Favourites, and then a third time. What I didn't realise till now with the same menu on the SL, is that switching all individual Favourites to OFF means that the Favourites screen is not displayed, giving access to the main menu with just two button presses, not three. Useful! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Posted September 8, 2020 Share #266 Posted September 8, 2020 What about the colour space? Its sRGB only with the SL2 (was it the case on the SL701?)... good thing it is uncompressed however (unlike M10s). Would anyone be interested to be able to toggle between sRGB or full RGB (like my old M9 allowed me to) ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lossless compressed is typically preferred to uncompressed. Unless shooting with JPG (where you likely want sRGB), why is it important to you to switch to "full RGB"? (Some set color space to AdobeRGB to have more accurate histograms) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Posted September 10, 2020 Share #269 Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Not really related, sorry :). It was more about having choices for both.... coming from the M9 which let me select for both for 10 years. I liked having those options especially when retouching on a full 10 bits Adobe RGB screen and juggling files between apps; I had my habits. True the difference is small between sRGB and RGB, especially when shooting raw and editing in Lightroom but then again, I like having the choices. And yes the Leica M9 histogram function was a masterpiece! - You could review and zoom in with full R G and B showing, not just Luma. Add that to my whish list!

Selected color space does not matter when shooting raw. RGB histogram would be nice, but even nicer would be if it were derived from the RAW and not from the embedded JPEG.

LocalHero1953 Posted September 10, 2020 Share #271 Posted September 10, 2020 Apologies if this firmware issue has been mentioned already...... I would like to set exposure bracketing AND self timer: I sometimes set the camera up for bracketing on a tripod, and I would like to incorporate a 2 sec delay as well. The irritating thing is that the Multishot mode allows you to set self timer at the same time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max EPR Posted September 11, 2020 Share #272 Posted September 11, 2020 I would like to see the Quick Menu access being attached to a "right side" or "front" programmable button and visible in the EVF. This way I could access the Quick Menu with my right hand and keep my eyes in the view finder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonoz Posted September 11, 2020 Share #273 Posted September 11, 2020 It’s been mentioned in this thread before but I don’t think I ever saw a solution for it. I shoot MF and use the back button to focus as my standard set up. But there is no option to leave the focus point locked in the center of the frame so I can focus using back button and then re-compose my shot. Instead I constantly find my focus cross hair has moved to the far edge of the screen and half the time I don’t know where it is because being white ( be nice to have option to change cross hair colour to red or black) it often blends into the surroundings of what I’m shooting. Plus it takes time to re-centre in which time I’ve often lost the decisive moment to capture an image. Back button lock doesn’t help as is deactivates the back button focus. Is there a way around this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrMi Posted September 17, 2020 Share #275 Posted September 17, 2020 I would like to have an option to prevent shutter activation without a lens attached. That would make the sensor wet-cleaning safer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about setting the drive mode to 12 second delay? That way the shutter will not fire immediately and you get the red light flashing to warn you. So far I have only used a rocket blower for sensor cleaning. Are there instructions somewhere for wet cleaning the SL2 sensor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
