Bent Posted November 20, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have moved the AF-L function to the Center button. To make it work, I have to press the button TWICE. It seems like a bug, having to press two times. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Hi Bent, Take a look here AF-L bug in Q3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Knorp Posted November 20, 2023 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) No, just to test this I’ve assigned AF-L to the thumbwheel button. One tap is enough. I noticed it acts like an On/Off switch. Edited November 20, 2023 by Knorp Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bent Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted November 20, 2023 Well, as you say, it's an On/Off switch, so one push turns the focus on, next push turns focus off. This I do not find useful. What I am looking for is to disengage the shutter release button as a focus button, - so that it only works to expose an image. And then to use another button for setting the focus.

Le Chef Posted November 20, 2023 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2023 Manual focus solves the problem without faffing about with buttons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bent Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted November 20, 2023 Who is talking about faffing??? If this is none of your interest, you are not obligated to respond. The camera is equipped with auto focus, if you dont't want to use it, fine with me. But I do appreciate the power of auto focus, and would like the use of a button to set focus and for the exposure button only to expose the image. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolyproductions Posted November 20, 2023 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2023 One of the (fairly) recent Q2 firmware updates implemented a half-decent back button focus (after a few years of threads here of people, including myself, being frustrated). I don’t have a Q3 (nor Q2 anymore) but if I understand correctly it has reverted to the original Q2 implementation that it simply locks focus for only one shot. Maybe Leica will fix this eventually for the Q3. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knorp Posted November 20, 2023 Share #7 Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Yep, it's indeed as you say an one shot only 'back button' implementation. Edited November 20, 2023 by Knorp 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
