Note:
The following two functions are also available with Leica R lenses, i.e.
not only with Leica M lenses with 6-bit coding and Leica M lenses
selected using the menu.
With the monitor image in live view mode
In live view mode (see p. 174) you can set the sharpness using the
monitor image, as it displays the subject with exactly the same
sharpness as is produced by the lens depending on the range and
aperture setting.
Procedure
1. Turn on live view mode using the
LV button (25).
2. Use the focusing ring on the lens (14) to focus on the desired
subject details.
To make the setting easier and increase the accuracy of the setting,
you can enlarge a central detail of the monitor image. You can call up
this function in two ways.
For occasional use:
1. Press the focus button (3).
•The monitor image shows
– the enlarged detail
– the setting dial symbol with the possible enlargement /
reduction directions
– the current zoom factor.
You can change the zoom factor using the setting dial - either
5x or 10x.
2. Use the focusing ring on the lens (14) to focus on the desired
subject details.
For continuous use:
1. In the main menu (see p. 154/246) select
Focus Aid (page 3,
SETUP section), and
2. Select
On in the sub-menu.
•As soon as you turn the focusing ring on the lens (14), the
enlarged detail described above appears.
You can change the enlargement as required using the setting dial
(29) or call up the unenlarged 1x view of the entire monitor area.
