steelduck Posted January 12 Share #1 Posted January 12 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello. Does anyone know how the M11-D thumbwheel exposure compensation work or is this a bug? The thumb wheel function does not make sense to me. sometimes I have to press the thumb wheel to get to the exposure compensation and then it locks to that. Sometimes just turning of the thumb wheel adjusts the exposure compensation ( which is super annoying as I change it by accident) How can I set it up so that it stays locked until I press the wheel and change it.

Photoworks Posted January 12 Share #3 Posted January 12 I would set the Thumbwheel to ISO on Turning motion in Pressing motion to Exposure compensation. there is no OFF on the 11-D The iso thumbwheel will only be active when the main iso dail is in M ISO mode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelduck Posted January 12 Author Share #5 Posted January 12 (edited) the M11-D does not have the screen, so the settings have to be done in the Leica App Does anyone know Where can you customise the thumbwheel in M11-D. I cannot see that in Leica App. Edited January 12 by steelduck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you seem to be the guy who reads them thoroughly, could you please point me to the instruction how to change the behaviour of the thumb wheel on the M11-D. Nothing on the menus in the app also.

steelduck Posted January 12 Author Share #11 Posted January 12 If you read my first mail, you can see that the camera does not behave like that. That is why I am asking if it is a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I am asking if it is a bug. It is not a bug. Sorry but I think you just need to play with it and figure out how it works. The info I posted says how it works. If you press the thumb wheel you will cycle between EC and ISO. If ISO is set to auto it will say AUTO for the ISO. The EC will show what the EC is set at. If you don't what the EC to change then make sure it is on AUTO when the thumb wheel is pressed. How that does the work for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted January 12 Share #13 Posted January 12 you can use thumb support and you won't accidentally change the exposure 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsch Posted January 12 Share #14 Posted January 12 I understood that if there is a flashing dot, then the EC is not zero and you have accidentally nudged the thumbwheel So keep an eye out for that and just turn it back to zero. If the wheel is in 0.5 ev increments like on the M-D even accidentally cranking two or three clicks is not going to cause any trouble that cannot be easily fixed in post. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyshire Man Posted January 12 Share #15 Posted January 12 For each press of the thumbwheel you cycle from ISO>Exp Comp>B(shutter speed) If you want it to have no effect then on either ISO or B nothing is going to happen if it rotates unless you have ISO on 'M' or shutter speed set to B 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenykepesz Posted January 13 Share #16 Posted January 13 (edited) if i am not mistaken one needs to double-click the thumbwheel to cycle its modus operandi- that's at least the behaviour in my m11d while a single click seems to suffice for other members in this club, as discussed here earlier. the wheel irritates me too as i don't have any use for it, all i want is a static exposure compensation of zero - but its value changes at times for no apparent reason. it's as if sometimes somebody plays with that dial...

I image that I know who that is 😁 But to be serious: - Just turn without pressing: The last activated function is still activated and just works. - Press once: You see which function is activated and then you can rotate the wheel - Press twice to toggle through the functions: ISO or exp. comp. (or as a speciality the shutter speed when in B ) Edited January 13 by M11 for me 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't what the EC to change then make sure it is on AUTO when the thumb wheel is pressed. How that does the work for you. Yes, know how it supposed to work. I can read the manual. The problem is that it does not do that. It makes no sense. M11-D is in A priority, Auto ISO. I take a picture- the exposure compensation is locked and does not change even if I rotate the thumb wheel. If I want change it, I have to push the thumb wheel and rotate. I take the next picture and the exposure compensation changes just by rotating the thumb wheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
