How to configure the Sl2-s to magnify with the thumbwheel with MF lenses?

Hi,

I am pretty sure I had configured the camera so that, when using a manual lens, I could magnify the frame by using the thumbwheel. I prefer this method to the joystick magnification as it goes straight to 100% (or maybe more).

However, I had to reset the camera and now I cannot get that working again. I have configured the setting "Wheel assignment(MF-lens)" to "Magnification (thumbwheel)-Exp Comp (frontwheel)". Indeed I can change the exposure compensation with the front wheel, but the thumb wheel is still not working (except I have already magnified with the joystick).

Can please you help?

Thanks.

I think I found the problem.

The settings are actually correct, however it works only with the Leica M-L adapter, a non-Leica adapter apparently deactivates the feature.

Why??

 

Thanks
