JP_foto Posted November 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey all, Having something I can't figure out on the leica q2 m - Seemingly only on manual mode - when I have press the shutter, the EVF and LCD completely change 'exposure'. More specifically, if I'm 1 + 1/3 stops under exposed... the LCD or EVF will become way brighter...almost to 'compensate'... when the shutter is pressed half-way. Then shutter pressed and the exposure is what I set. I have a suspicion that the exposure compensation is 'set' to something different than what I am setting the exposure, and the half-pressed shutter is showing me what the 'exposure compensation' is set to. But why would it do this? Any way to turn this off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP_foto Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted November 23, 2021 Interesting. I have read that - still is not "working properly". They claim that the 'brightness of screen image matches exposure setting' on P-A-S, and when you turn exposure preview to P-A-S-M - this should be achieved... Why then am I seeing a different 'brightness' AND the histogram change exposures only on manual mode when the shutter is pressed half-way? If this were to happen on my system camera for a commercial shoot, suffice it to say I would be irate, or at the very least ensure this setting turned off...

jaapv Posted November 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 23, 2021 It is in aid of manual focus. A bit hard to do on a near-black screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
