As most manufactures just did this. I just checked SL2S did this correctly too. So is Panasonic S5, so is NIKON Z did the same:) I believe M don’t have this problem until m11. Very interesting issue, thanks for reporting it! I too use this a lot with my M10 😱 I hope Leica can fix this in a future firmware update for the M11. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Hi Alexander-HH, Take a look here Leica M11 issue: lock exposure for multiple image in aperture priority. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

In rangefinder mode, M10-P and M10-R behave as you expect. This is interesting. Just tried with my M10 (not -P) : exposure locks also in LV mode as long as the shutter button is half-pressed 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, tested it again and it changes, must have made a mistake when trying the first time. So in LV exposure is not kept locked, same as reported for the M10-P.

adan Posted January 25, 2022 Share #26 Posted January 25, 2022 Realistically, for pictures to stitch (or other times the exposure must be locked) - I simply go to manual exposure. Always have. Set ISO, set aperture, set shutter speed. LV or RF, no difference. The M's DO have that nice big clearly-engraved shutter speed dial on top.

Look exposure is a my exposure not an automation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHNL Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share #28 Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I do both depend on situation. There is no right or wrong way to do it nor there is a"premium" way to shooting Edited January 25, 2022 by ZHNL 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHNL Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share #29 Posted January 25, 2022 For S I used Manual 90% for stitch because the big shutter speed dial is so easy to reach and turn and you can see both aperture and speed setting in Window. For M or SL2 with manual lens, I found I used mostly lock way unless I am on tripod. It is just the way I used these cameras quite differently based on preference or shooting scenarios.

orcinus Posted January 25, 2022 Share #30 Posted January 25, 2022 You can also do panoramas with view cameras, on a 10 kilo tripod. And many here do. That does not mean we all should, or that that means lighter cameras, better stitching software, and shooting panoramas from hand should be considered irrelevant This is simply bad UI design. AE lock means AE lock. It doesn’t mean ”lock, but then release the lock and pretend it was never there after 1 shot”. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that nobody noticed that the bug was there in LV since M10 at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be impossible? Storing two numerical values (the last shutter speed and ISO, if on ISO-Auto), and retaining them after an exposure is all it takes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that AE lock works with manual and Auto ISO (lock exposure with half-press, take a shot and keep the shutter half-pressed).
