Mikep996 Posted June 18, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a new (to me) Q2 with the latest firmware. I ran across a UTube video that shows that video on the Q2 can be switched in/out either by swiping across the rear display OR by pressing the button in the center of the 4-way controller. The Q2 owners manual says that as well. My Q2 will not switch to video by pressing the button, it will only cycle between 3 modes of display with different levels of data showing. It will switch to video by swiping the screen. Am I missing some setting within the menu that allows the center button on the 4-way to select video as well as the other three display modes? As I said, the Leica manual states that the button will select video but the camera does not agree with the manual...;) Edited June 18, 2022 by Mikep996 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnikiMu Posted June 18, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Hello, please where in the manual? CENTER BUTTON – Accessing the status display – Accessing the video function – Accessing the submenu – Applying menu settings – Confirming a deletion – Display of picture data during review I am curious about the Utube video...

gteague Posted June 18, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 18, 2022 this was changed in a firmware update right after i got my q2 a couple years ago. afaik the only way to go into video mode is by swiping the lcd in some direction. i wish they'd kept the button as the swipe method isn't reliable and since i've turned off touch id i don't think of touching it in the first place. /guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also enter video mode my pressing the "Video" tab in the quick menu (first press of "Menu" button) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep996 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted June 18, 2022 "You can also enter video mode my pressing the "Video" tab in the quick menu (first press of "Menu" button)" I didn't care for that at first but after futzing with it for a bit, it's pretty quick though an "on/off" video option to program a button would be nice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDD Posted June 22, 2022 Share #7 Posted June 22, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) If only there was a button on top of the camera to start & stop video recording, then you wouldn't need to bother about different modes. A little red one would do. You know, like the Q! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
