Leica M Series User Manual Quick Start Guide 72
The zoom button can optionally be operated
either with or without ratchet steps. Continu-
ous zoom is possible when the ratchet steps are
disabled, which many users find convenient.
On the other hand, when the ratchet steps are
enabled, photographs, measurement results
etc. can be reproduced more accurately.
Enabling and disabling ratchet steps
1. Push the top button downwards to disable
the ratchet steps.
2. Push the bottom button upwards to enable
the ratchet steps.
Magnifications and fields of view

information about the magnifications and field
