hockey44 Posted January 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greetings, i have a few times when thinking I am moving the focus cross actually hit the center button and switch from still to video. Is there anyway to prevent this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmfrank Posted January 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 28, 2020 If only. I wish Leica would change the Q2 to the SL2 quick control screen with a firmware release. That's a much better interface for the stills/video interface selection. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted January 28, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 28, 2020 At least you do see the little microphone icons as an EVF warning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidSkee Posted January 28, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2020 This is manageable for me. Every now and then I switch the Q2 to video mode and capture away, swipe right back. You're right, it's all about the microphone icon at the top. It's tragic that you can't control anything in video - P mode for life, but I've used the Q2 as a 2nd and 3rd video camera professionally, most recently in an HBO documentary that I'm producing and there is nothing like the Q2's optics, it makes up for most else. I put the camera on a smaller, handheld crane for video and it's a b-roll assassin. Very little, if any, shutter roll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey44 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted January 28, 2020 Do you think we should ask Leica for a firmware update so that the video can be enabled only via menu and not clicking button on control wheel. I understand you see the mic on in the EVF BUT I am coming from my M240 and NEVER made this mistake once in 6+ years since you need to make an effort to push video button on top. But I got Q2 for autofocus for other occasions and damn irritating that I missed the shot but unknowingly (stupid me!) making a video... is there a way to disable the video function via the menu? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted January 28, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2020 If you make a video can you freeze and extract a 'frame' if replaying in Lightroom? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
