Leica Q3 no enhanced live view for flash photography

Hey,

if I am shooting in low light with flash and I can’t see a thing, why is there no enhanced live view on the q3? 
any reason why this should not be possible?

Shooting when you can’t see a thing is dangerous.

I mean with a speedlight. 
the camera is set up for ambient light + flash > in this set up it may be that you can’t see much because you would need the enhanced life view setting (Leica sl2 etc.) 

that’s why i am confused . I use both cameras on the same shooting with complete different experiences.

sl2 Live view clear with speedlight but need highspeed sync 

q3 Live view dark but highspeed sync no problem. 
 

So crazy …

Yes, agree. The Q evf  gives a live view that sometimes is a little too “live”…

DOF previews with small apertures are also pretty useless.

Ok, so we can agree that it would be great if Leica could make a little voodoo programming and change this? 
 

Because when I shot with a mix of cameras I am struggling with getting this right. 
 

I would love to have the SL with leaf shutter for speedlight photography. 😉 

But I would run with making all menus in the line up the same (approximately) and give the cameras the same abilities!
