Basic camera settings
Grid
The grid divides the image field into several fields of the same size.
It facilitates things such as picture composition and exact camera
orientation. You can select the grid partition to match the subject.
Setting the function
1. In the menu's
SETUP section, select Capture Assistants,
2. in the submenu
Grid Setup, and
3. in the respective submenu, the desired partitioning, or
Off if
this display should not appear.
Horizon
Integrated sensors make it possible for the Leica SL to show its
orientation. This indicator enables you to align the camera
precisely in the longitudinal and transverse axes to capture critical
subjects, e.g. architecture pictures taken from a tripod.
• For the longitudinal axis, two long lines are shown to the left and
right of the screen's center. They appear green when the camera
is oriented correctly and red when it is slanted. For the
transverse axis, two green double lines directly to the left and
right of the picture's center indicate the starting point. When the
camera is slanted they turn white and a short red line appears
above and below.
Focus Peaking and Manual Focus Aid
These two displays are described in the 'Manual focusing' section
on p. 214/215.
KEYLOCK
To completely safeguard against unintentional settings of the
shutter speed, the aperture, and the exposure control mode, you
can deactivate the function of both the top dial and the click wheel.
When set to
On, turning and pressing during recording mode will
have no effect.
Setting the function
1. In the menu's
SETUP section, select Key Lock, and
2. switch the function
On or Off.
