Mauro Tandoi Posted February 28 Share #1 Posted February 28 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, After updating my LEICA SL2-S to the latest firmware, I noticed that the “Minimum Shutter Speed” option has been replaced with “Maximum Shutter Speed.” Does anyone know why? I found the previous setting really useful when I wanted to shoot at a fixed shutter speed, letting only the ISO adjust while keeping my chosen aperture. Thanks!” Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted February 28 Share #2 Posted February 28 I haven't checked that particular setting, but could you not just use M mode and AutoISO? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest over decades I have never come to a peace to decide what it should be called when a slower shutter speed is engaged. Is it maximum because of a reciprocal of smaller shutter speed makes the value larger, or is it a minimum because the denominator is smaller? For example, is 1/60 bigger than 1/80? Sure mathematically it is, then it should be called maximum shutter speed. I suggest to software engineers in Leica to change the wording to be : the slowest shutter speed 🤪 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know/experienced if it's only the name who changed or if there was a change in behaviour too? Particularly in underwater photography i use Auto Iso frequently as there a higher shutter speed and high DOF for macro is needed and my cameras with optical triggered flashes worked better with Auto ISO, but same on land when i need a cerain shutter speed and aperture.

Chris By behavior change you mean from slowest speed to fastest speed? I don’t think so, it doesn’t even make any sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if there was any change or just a name change. Zitat I suggest to software engineers in Leica to change the wording to be : the slowest shutter speed 🤪 Yes, probably this, they probably corrected a misspelling in the prior firmware 🤷♂️ Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted March 1 Share #7 Posted March 1 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't understand the question. My SL2 and SL2-S, both at Firmware Version 6.1.0, have the Auto ISO shutter setting labeled Shutter Speed Limit. On my SL (Typ 601) FW 4.1 that setting is Maximum Exposure Time which is how that setting is labeled on my M240 and M246. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
