Photoworks Posted September 22, 2021 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2021 FLASH! Working again in 3.0 Leica has updated the flash BUG on the SL2, it is frustrating that it took so long, now you can shoot with flash even if you have a bright window or sky behind the subject. Just mentioning it since it was not in Leica notes. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoworks Posted September 22, 2021 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) FOTOS APP shooting mode is still SINGLE SHOT only in remote shooting. You can change it back to something else in camera after you connect. But don't Play a photo, It will reset to single shot.. 💩 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT07 Posted September 22, 2021 Share #8 Posted September 22, 2021 I may be missing something and hope its ok to ask here but i often struggle trying to keep the focus point dead center in the frame. I must be doing something wrong which makes it move and I’m missing shots. Is there a way to “lock it” dead center if desired? Thank you< JT 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you< JT SAME here. that is one option I like to see implemented in all leica cameras. Like you I use Spot or Field and the AF point moves to one corner.. Just give us a center lock Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virob Posted September 22, 2021 Share #10 Posted September 22, 2021 Do you have touch autofocus on while having you eye at the viewfinder? If your nose touches the screen it will shift your autofocus point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should however still be a shortcut to recentre the focus point e.g. by pressing the joystick. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I now have a profile that has the focus point locked as a default with a button programmed for lock on / off. Works fine for me after a bit of learning. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Richardson Posted September 22, 2021 Share #17 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Any idea if it still has the warning that takes up the entire screen if you try to move the camera in multishot mode? Seemed like that annoyed a lot of people (myself included) and was mentioned on the requested features thread. It makes it very hard to compose without completely exiting multishot mode.

I use single point tracking, and it does recenter. Might help. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
