You can let the camera go to sleep in 30s and it will be in low power mode just like an iPhone.

you can instantly wake the camera up with a shutter press...

 

there are FOTOS app options to wake up the camera from the app. it is not possible with a hardware switch.

 

Exactly consistent with comments from the Red Dot forum / Leica Miami guys in part 1 of their 2 part video session...

With the SL3 sensor reading speed, good luck shooting anything that moves with the electronic shutter

Thank you for the images!

I do a lot of classical music live photography with the SL2-S. I have to use electronic shutter as I need to be completely silent in the places where I shoot these concerts (concert halls for example). I cannot go too slow on the shutter speed as I need to 'freeze' the musicians while they play. Banding is already a bit of a challenge with my SL2-S but I am still able to handle it. Whenever I can get my hands on an SL3, I would like to test it myself in such live concert situations, but this banding on the new model does not look like the camera improved in this area. This was already a bit of a concern to me while reading all the SL3 rumoured specs before the release.

 

 

It's a big reason I would have loved for the SL3 to have a stacked sensor with a fast readout, but since I wasn't aware of any 60mp stacked sensors being in development I didn't have my hopes up. Perhaps there's room for that opportunity should they ever do a lower resolution SL3-S someday.
