VIDEO RECORDINGS

You can also use the Leica S to make video recordings.

Notes:

• As only part of the sensor surface is used, the eﬀective focal length is

increased in each case, i.e. the details become correspondingly

smaller.

• Uninterrupted video recordings are possible up to a maximum length of

29 minutes.

The following settings are available for video recordings:

RESOLUTION / IMAGE FREQUENCY

1. In the menu, under

IMAGE, select the item Video Resolution and

2. set the desired resolution in the sub-menu

The two resolutions available have a ﬁxed relationship to diﬀerent image

frequencies. 1080p, for example, can be combined with three diﬀerent

image frequencies in order to match the reproduction to the TV system

used: 25 fps for PAL, 24 and 30 fps for NTSC while the 4K resolution is

only possible with 24 fps.

Note:

4k video recordings can only be stored on SD cards (see p. 25).

ISO SENSITIVITY

All variants described on p. 24, but

Maximum Auto ISO for video record-

ings is set separately in the

Auto ISO Video sub-menu.

Notes:

• The limitation described below under exposure operating modes

applies.

• Vertical and horizontal lines may become visible all over the image,

especially when shooting dark subjects with high ISO values containing

very bright, spot light sources.

COLOR SPACE

Video recordings are only possible with sRGB (see p. 22).

Note:

This applies irrespective of a possible deviating setting for photos which

remains unchanged.

CONTRAST, FOCUS, SATURATION

All variants described on page 22, but they are set separately for video

recordings.

1. In the menu, under

IMAGE, select the item Video Settings and

2. select

Video Contrast, Video Sharpness or Video Saturation in the

sub-menu, and

3. select the desired level/function in the sub-menu

TIME CODE

The time code is a data set that is generated and recorded parallel to the

image and audio data. It allows the correct time synchronization of pic-

ture and audio signals even after cutting, or after a later separate pro-

cessing.

You can choose between a continuous 'running'

Timecode – Free Run and a time code for the particular recording –

Rec Run

1. In the menu, under IMAGE, select the item Video Settings and

2. select

Timecode in the sub-menu

3. In the

Timecode sub-menu select Timecode Mode and

4. select the desired function or deactivate the function in the sub-menu

While the time code signal at camera time is always generated and

recorded parallel to the video recording, with

Free Run and Rec Run you

can deﬁne the start yourself, i.e. how large the time oﬀset is to be

between the start of recording and the start of time code signal genera-

tion. In these two cases, the otherwise inactive second line of the

Time-

code sub-menu can therefore be selected.

5. In the

Timecode Mode sub-menu select Starting Time and

6. set the delay in the sub-menu

– Setting the numerical groups (

hh [hours], mm [minutes], ss [sec-

onds] and

frame [frame number within the respective second]):

Turn the rear thumbwheel or press the Joystick up or down

– Switching between the numerical groups:

Press the rear thumbwheel or the Joystick forwards, to the left or

to the right
