My chargers do not give evidence of 100% charge: both LEDs are still on after an overnight charge.   Ideas?  Suggestions?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Thats correct Stephen.  As long as both LEDs are ON, and neither LED is flashing, charge is complete.   

Now run the batteries down and recharge a few times to maximise their performance.

welcome back to the forum.

Now I can sleep nights...  <grin>

It's good to be back... thank you.

Oh, while I have your ear,  my 87 year old hands are not as steady as in days of yore.  Would a soft release be beneficial?

Stephen.   I find that a soft release with a concave top does improve finger contact.  Hope you can find one.

They are definiitely available for M bodies, but i cant remember if the Leica Q and Q2 have screw holes in the shutter release button.

Thanks Gordon

The Q2 has image stabilization.  So no problem there.  No drilled hole for a cable release..  That's all handled thru electronics..

Actually I wish the M had a "hair trigger"

I will find and try a soft release.

Meanwhile the ISO will be higher than really necessary.

Stay well.
