gotium Posted October 13, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 13, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have heard that manual focusing M lenses is easer on the SL2-S partly due to low-light advantage but also sharper magnified view on the SL2-S. Wondered if the new firmware upgrade changed this. Anyone have comparative experience? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Hi gotium, Take a look here Manual focus with SL2 vs SL2-S. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Photoworks Posted October 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2021 it is not the firmware making the difference , it is the sensor. that is not changing so quickly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotium Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Certainly, could understand that. How big of an advantage is it? Enough that anyone would specifically choose the SL2-S for ease of manual focus? Edited October 14, 2021 by gotium Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoworks Posted October 14, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 14, 2021 the different is minimal. it more relevant at night or low light. it is the more efficient back illuminated sensor that delivers a cleaner image. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmknoble Posted October 19, 2021 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2021 In normal everyday light, with the newest firmwares, the SL2 and SL2-S are the same. In really low light, if the low light enhancement is on, the focus peaking on the SL2-S turns off, so there isn’t an advantage in manual focus, except you can zoom in and focus until the details are sharp. Only good for stills, landscapes, in low light (advantage). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the firmware update may have improved that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
