Leica Sl2s fn or favorites: no „exposure Preview“

Hey , 

 

in the q2 you can put the exposure preview on the fn button . 
on the Sl2s not 

and you can’t put it on any of the fn buttons. 
 

i think that this would be a helpful little feature. 
 

or is there a way to do this? 
 

thanxs

Hi Peter,

Maybe I am not fully understanding your question (if so....I am sorry for that) and suffering a "grey moment" 😉

But doesn't the live view image of the EVF and the LCD by default show the real time exposure and thus make a dedicated exposure preview button irrelevant ?

I know there is an option in the menu to undo that for studio flash.

Sort of. But the original SL (Type 601) has a feature which allows you to preview the effect of the shutter speed with one squeeze of the Funk button (very handy for previewing low shutter speed shots). A second squeeze of the Funk button gives you depth-of-field preview. Both a better than what you get with a half-squeeze of the shutter release. For some reason, this function has been left out of the SL2/SL2-S firmware.

Thanks for explaining that. I have never noticed that option on the Q2. I have no experience with the SL (type 601)

I always use the Fn button to toggle between screen info. Infor bars, grid, histogram etc...

Yes, I do this with the fn button too, but if I need to see the low shutter image I change it to S P A or M S P A (not sure if this is the correct order) 

i am just thinking why is this feature activated in the q2 and the Sl2s does not have it. When I jump from one to the other camera I struggle with these inconsistencies. 
 

and this is complaining on high level. 
 

when I am in a production I have so much going on that it’s nice if all the cameras work the same. 🤗
