Metering range: At room temperature and normal humidity for ISO 200, at aperture 1.0 EV-2 to EV19 at aperture 32. Flashing of the left triangular LED in the viewfinder indicates values below the metering range Sensitivity range: ISO 160 to ISO 100.000, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments from ISO 160, choice of automatic control or manual setting Exposure modes: Choice of automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection - aperture priority A, or manual shutter speed and aperture setting Flash exposure control Via accessory shoe with central and control contacts Flash unit attachment: Optionally triggered at the 1st or 2nd shutter curtain Flash sync time: = 1/180 s; slower shutter speeds can be used, if working below sync speed: Automatic changeover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units Flash exposure metering: Using centre-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF40, SF64, SF26), or flash units compatible with the system with SCA3502 M5 adapter Flash measurement cell: 2 silicon photo diodes with collection lens on the camera base Flash exposure compensation: +/-3EV in1⁄3EV increments Displays in flash mode (in viewfinder only): Using flash symbol LED Viewfinder Construction principle: Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation Eye piece: Calibrated to -0.5 dpt.; corrective lenses from -3 to +3 diopter available Image field limiter: By activating two bright lines each: For 35 and 135mm, or for 28 and 90mm, or for 50 and 75mm; automatic switching when lens is attached.

mmradman Posted January 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2020 Some nice improvement over M246 Longer ISO range starting at ISO 160 and past 25,600. Compressed lossless RAW retained but 14Bit. Longer max exposure, 16 minutes, probably ISO dependant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mujk Posted January 18, 2020 Share #13 Posted January 18, 2020 3 hours ago, Jeff S said: Is there a RAW histogram display? Jeff The small histogram is explained on page 85 of the manual. I didn't find information on whether it's generated from raw data or the jpg preview. From the manual: The histogram is always based on the brightness displayed; depending on the settings used, it may not represent the final exposure. In picture mode, the histogram should be regarded as a "trend indicator”. The histogram during rendering may differ slightly from the one during exposure. Histogram is available only in full screen mode. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In picture mode, the histogram should be regarded as a "trend indicator”. The histogram during rendering may differ slightly from the one during exposure. Histogram is available only in full screen mode. I suppose it could be similar to the MM1, when shooting RAW, whereby the initial JPEG histogram is then rendered in RAW after a short delay. But the language is unclear. I’m not sure how the M246 operates. I’ll ask Jono on his review thread. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Q2 and SL2 can’t do such thing with their 47MP sensor ? In his review, Jono noted slow image processing and writing times on M10M. If that is caused by the compression algorithm, I would have preferred uncompressed DNGs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickan1 Posted January 20, 2020 Share #17 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) How about the weather proofing? I guess it is the same as for the M10. I have a M10 now and have been very gentle with it. I had a M240 that I tested once in a rain shower and it gave me a scare as I got moisture inside the range finder window. It dried out after a couple of hours but after that I always used a plastic bag if it was raining. I think that the M10 generation is supposed to be better protected, but is it enough for landscape work in bad weather.

Jeff S Posted January 20, 2020 Share #18 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) M10 platform provides better protection than the M240, but is not sealed to the degree of the SL (IP52) or SL2 (IP54). M lenses also aren’t sealed as SL lenses, but close tolerances and lubricants help. Many, however, manage to use M bodies of all kinds in inclement weather, with a bit of common sense.

Photoskeptic Posted January 21, 2020 Share #19 Posted January 21, 2020 A couple of questions, one which i asked in Jono’s thread but I’m sure he didn’t know. will there be a chrome version? who makes the sensor? One person said Sony, but is that correct? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
