My biggest problem with it is I cannot turn off LV quickly by pressing that little button again. again I try to avoid use LV as much as possible that’s why turning off LV quickly is more than important to me than zooming/focusing conveniently What I love is that you have the versatility to set it up either way based on your personal preference. I personally love having this button set to LV and focus ring magnification when manually focusing. I like the other option of setting this button to "focus aid" but wish there was a way to use this same button to turn of LV as going to the menu is not convenient / fluid work flow. But again, each of us gets to choose. Edited February 26, 2023 by LikameLeica Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianforber Posted February 26, 2023 Share #22 Posted February 26, 2023 I just set the Fn button to the left of the screen as LV - one press switches it on, a second press switches it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob L Posted February 26, 2023 Share #23 Posted February 26, 2023 That is the default setting, is it not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted February 26, 2023 Share #24 Posted February 26, 2023 I sent my camera to no magnification on lens turn, it was waisting time where is was going so zoomed in and then focusing. Setting the wheel to zoom helps to focus most lenses when you needed. In most case i get to the ballpark and move an ice back and forward to find focus on subject in full view. The pressed wheel setting to compensation works well too. Most of the time I use rangefinder to focus and frame and use the little nutton to turn on off LV. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite sure we have the zoom set up the same way. I found it annoying to have to change focus to zoom in when the focus probably only needed a slight tweak or verified. Having full manual control over when it zooms in or out feels much better to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably have it set up to Focus Aid. Digital zoom will crop the image in just like in Q2 cameras. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively, I was having to change focus to make the magnification function start so it would zoom into the area I was focusing on. Now I just use the directional keypad to move the spot then use the wheel on the thump grip to magnify the focus point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geesbert Posted March 14, 2023 Share #28 Posted March 14, 2023 use the thumb wheel button for focus aid and the little button for LV. so with one thumb push you can zoom in and with an index finger push you can switch LV off 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very convenient and fast way to use LW and focus assist... I also had set the FN button to be for the ISO change... Somehow I find the ISO setting per the the ISO wheel not very practical, it is to “sticky“ and hard to change if you need to do this fast... I had ISO wheel set to M and adjust the ISO range in the menu from ISO 64 to the ISO 12500... Just press the FN function button and it is easy and fast to change the ISO per thumb wheel, touch screen or directional keypad... For everything else I have menu...

With the little button beside the shutter button to be focus aid and the FN button to be iso, how do you turn off the LV. I need to turn off the LV with one click Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to turn off the LV with one click I had my M11 for 8 months and than I sold her and changed back to SL2-S so I don't remember everything exactly... Try by pressing the shutter button , make a picture... I think this will shut the LV off if you turned on the focus aid... Look what Geesbert said “use the thumb wheel button for focus aid and the little button for LV. so with one thumb push you can zoom in and with an index finger push you can switch LV off“ By pressing the thumb wheel button to activate focus aid and adjust it and with index finger you can switch off the LV... That way you have left FN button near the LCD screen for setting the ISO if you want... Don't have the camera now to confirm this... I am sorry if I made some confusion about this...

marchyman Posted March 15, 2023 Share #34 Posted March 15, 2023 Today's set up: Fn => Live View on/off Function button next to shutter => self timer selection Thumb wheel => Exposure bracketing I'm happy with Fn and the function button assignments. I keep playing with the thumb wheel options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just press the thumb wheel personally. I don't see any issue but i may be missing something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siriusone59 Posted March 16, 2023 Share #37 Posted March 16, 2023 The switch right under the shutter release will also turn off LV, but then it will also turn off everything else...😜 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's much faster than trying to move the focus point around with the 4-way buttons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
