Turning off Exposure Clipping in Capture Assistants Menu?

[Guest]

Hello, does anyone know hoe to turn off the Exposure Clipping option in the Capture Assistants Menu? This is for my M10-P and the M10-M, they behave the same way. I want to turn it off so I don't get the Blue/Red flashing areas on the image in Playback, but still retain the other information in Image Review. I know you can turn it off by toggling the up/down button but if you do that then all the other information goes away too.

So when I try to turn Exposure Clipping off in Capture Assistants that's easy enough, you can toggle between ON and OFF, but when I do turn it OFF and return to the main menus it's ON again! The same goes for if you change the Clipping parameters, high or low settings, when I return to the Main Menu the settings have reverted to where they were prior to trying to re-set them, huh? I'm doing something wrong here I guess but even after looking it all up in the Manual I cannot find a way to turn Exposure Clipping off and keep it off.

I emailed Leica on this for help/suggestions but I've heard nothing back, so here I am on the Forum!

I believe while in review on the LCD screen if you press the info button you can scroll through the several screens.

Yes you can do that but that option is to have everything OFF, clipping and the other information or ON with all the file's information plus the clipping feature.....What I am trying to do is to see if just the Exposure Clipping can be turned off when you are reviewing shots leaving the other info' on-screen. As I said, in the main Menu even though you are given the choice of turning Exposure Clipping ON / OFF when you do select OFF it reverts back to ON when you return to the main Menu page, the same goes with the Clipping Parameters settings too, you can't seem to make those choices and adjustments "stick", or at least I've not found a way myself hence putting the question out here.

I was just able to do this.

Go the the "CAPTURE ASSISTANTS" menu. Select "Exposure Clipping" (which probably says "On" at the right when you start).

With "Clipping Enabled" selected, press either the left or right buttons on the D pad to change the value to "Off". Then, press the center/info button *three* times to confirm all the values. This will then take you back to "CAPTURE ASSISTANTS" and you should see that "Exposure Clipping" is now "Off".

THANKS Andy, that worked it.....What secret society you had to join to discover that move I don't know, but again thanks for passing on the trick!
