VIDEO MODE
The settings described in this chapter only apply for video
operations. They are therefore part of the video menu and must
always be accessed and configured from within video mode (see
chapter “Camera operation” in the section “Menu Control”). Any
menu items of the same name in the picture menu are entirely
independent of these.
Notes
• As only part of the sensor area is used in video recordings, the
relevantly effective focal length is increased, which slightly
reduces the size of the image sections.
• The max. file size for uninterrupted video recording is 96GB.
Once a recording exceeds this file size, the overrun will be
automatically stored in a new file.
• Some menu items are unavailable in Video mode. The text in the
relevant line is displayed in gray to signify the existence of a
submenu.
• Unlike in picture mode, the joystick is used exclusively for
focusing (metering and saving). A coupling of exposure metering
and focusing is not done, no matter which metering method is
selected.
VIDEO MODE AND CINE MODE
Cine mode is optimized for use by cinematography professionals.
The mode is reduced to the most important points and the use of
terminology from cinematography ensure a seamless user
experience.
(Semi) automatic exposure programs (PP, AA, SS) and the automatic
control of light sensitivity (Auto ISOAuto ISO, Floating ISOFloating ISO) remain disabled.
Light sensitivity is stated as an ASAASA value.
Unlike other video modes, the shutter speeds are not set as
absolutes, but as shutter angles, relative to the selected frame
rate.
In conjunction with suitable lenses. the Cine mode allows the Leica
SL2-S the use of T-stops to ensure exact same exposure scenarios
independent of camera settings.
