Q shutter button activation points

(It might be in the manual - I am a little bit lazy here)

It seems my Leica Q-M has two activation points after the auto-focus one. If I press it just a little more I reach a point where the Q takes a photo but only after about second or so and if I press it all the way down after focus point it takes the photo immediately. Am I hallucinating? Is it documented?

Yes. Check your instruction manual.

Tnx! - I will.

Hm, I only find notes of two pressure points, the first for focusing and then the final when you press the shutter all the way down. Sorry if I am being daft

That is how it works.

To be very precise: It also measures the amount of light when you half press unless you put that function on another button. But to keep it simple: There is half press and press fully down. There is nothing in between.
