Yes, but others can do it automatic now! Gimme a sec. Will update post here.

 

The S5 could but it was removed from the S5Ii. Reason I kept my S5.

Use manual shutter speed and compare the histograms. 
I did manual focus stacking long before it became a camera feature. Just take a number of differently focused shots and use Photomerge. 

Hard job Sir! But I would say now, after importing to LRc. It is an EXIF error only. It seems to use actually F22. But super hard to tell! Anyway histrogram and 300% view look different. Though on tripod, etc. Images look different in sharpness IMO. Below crop only please. So, I am assuming it did use F22 and F16! Yes images are different. Both at 1.0 sec @LeicaRFan

Well at 1 second and 300% some motion blur cannot be ruled out, even on the best tripod. Well done this test, thanks

So, if only an EXIF error there will be no photographic consequences. I’m sure the bug will be fixed in some future update, but even if not, no real harm done.

SL3-S is up on Photons. https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm Sweet spot is ISO 75 according to lab.

If I understand charts correct, SL3-S is a low light monster...? lol @SrMi

The PDR vs. ISO graph indicates that SL3-S's low-light capability is similar to that of SL3. The native ISO is 100, but strangely, ISO 64 (outside the normal analog range) delivers a better PDR than the native ISO. I have not studied SL3-S behavior below the native ISO, but traditionally, the Leica SL and Q ranges behave a bit strangely when shooting below the native ISO.

The PDR graphs of S5 II and SL3 are very similar, but SL3-S deviates quite a bit in the lower ISO range. It seems that  SL3-S has 2/3 of a stop less PDR at native ISO.

The shadow improvement vs. ISO graphs indicate that SL3-S is "ISO-invariant" starting with ISO 640, while SL3's invariant range starts around ISO 400. SL3-S adds in-camera NR starting with ISO 6400, while SL3 starts NR a bit higher at ISO 8000.

Low light monster worse than SL2S of 2021.

Well that is much easier to understand thank you Captain. I have been working on these graphs to comprehend the science of sensors to get a sense of how the camera exposes for the images I create. I am very appreciative of the members experience here, one cant access this type of info anywhere else without being completely confused by the scientific descriptions.

...PDR Chart...

 

Not by this PDR chart. But if you take this PDR chart in combination with the other measurement charts from Photons, it seems to me SL3-S offers a pretty fine mix for low light. Though SL2-S is a super fine cam of course too! However compared to SL3, SL3-S seems to my understanding really great for low light! E.g. noise.

The beauty of the 24mp sensor I would say.

Cool.  Let's all live and die by rando graphs from whatever source rather than looking at the actual images.  Plus, wasn't it supposed to be the "same" sensor but now different?

PDAF was enabled on the same 24MP sensor used in the SL2-S. But for some and Leica marketing, this defines a "new sensor"

Make a comparison of the same scene with SL2S and SL3S on all ISO and push / pull them and prove your theory that it's not the same or worse DR.

I am waiting :)

To me graphs and Photon to photos are more accurate tool of measurement than internet debate with Leica SL3S fans
