rim_light Posted March 7, 2024 Share #1963 Posted March 7, 2024 I'm curious to see how often I'll use the heel of my hand to trigger any buttons to the right of the screen while taking photos. At least with heavy lenses, I could imagine that this could be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens a lot on other cameras I own with accidental push of buttons and setting changes with the heel of my hand. But in all fairness those cameras also have about 7 buttons where the Leica has 3...

AKorenc Posted March 7, 2024 Share #1970 Posted March 7, 2024 The text on the "PLAY" button seems brighter than text on the "FN" and "MENU" buttons and judging by the illuminated I/O button it looks like we're getting illuminated control buttons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this photo confirms that the power button light can be turned off I didn't think of it as possibly being a tally light. That definitely makes sense to me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do the rumors say that little wheel on the side of the viewfinder is? It's not diopter, as that seems to still be like on the SL2. Odd position for anything else. I'm curious.

Stuart Richardson Posted March 7, 2024 Share #1977 Posted March 7, 2024 The design changes are not looking to be benefits to me at least, but I am sure it will be fine. I am a bit concerned about the power button though. I think the positive click of the switch in the S cameras and SL and SL2 was a great design. Tactile and easy to find by feel, while never accidentally going on or off (in my experience). In contrast this one seems like it has less tactile sensation (by being a flat button and not a more prominent and distinct switch), and from the look at least seems like it would be easier to accidentally turn on or off. I imagine that if it does not have a positive clicking force it will mean that you have to hold it down for a moment or two to get it to work, which is cumbersome compared to the switch, especially with gloves. Also not excited at all about a illuminated switch right next to the viewfinder. I just really hope they have tested the hell out of it. It seems like a little thing, but this is the second most important button on the camera after the shutter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use it to change drive modes or AF modes etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Abrahams Posted March 7, 2024 Share #1979 Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) Come on, I have to hit the sack soon. The button on left hand side of eye piece is the on off button . At least the top knobs are the same and balanced in the scheme of things Edited March 7, 2024 by Ken Abrahams 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGEND Posted March 7, 2024 Share #1980 Posted March 7, 2024 Now when I have some good photos and video of SL3 whole time I compare my SL2-S with SL3 on the photos. I almost hit my self in the head with my SL2-S ... Need to stop this immediately other wise I can end in ER ... 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
