AUTOFOCUS METERING METHODS
For optimum adjustment of the AF system to dierent subjects,
situations and picture composition ideas, you can choose between
four AF metering methods on the Leica X:
1.
Press the
DELETE/FOCUS
button and select the required setting
in the submenu
2.
Press the
MENU/SET
or
INFO
button to save the setting
Spot / 1 field metering
These two metering methods only record the parts of the subject in
the center of the monitor screen.
The relevant fields are indicated by a small AF frame. Thanks to the
exceptionally small metering range for spot metering, it allows you to
concentrate on tiny details of the subject. For portrait pictures, it is
normally recommended that the eyes are reproduced completely in
focus.
The slightly larger metering range for 1 field metering is less critical
when aiming, making it easier to use, but still allows selective
metering.
With both metering methods, you can move the AF frame to any point
on the monitor screen, e.g. to make it easier to use for o-center
subjects:
1.
Press the
DELETE/FOCUS
button for 1s
All displays apart from the AF frame disappear. Red triangles
on all sides of the frame indicate the possible movement
directions.
2.
Use the direction pad to move the AF frame to the desired
position
To indicate the limits of movement, the relevant triangles
disappear close to the edges.
You can return the frame to the central position at any time:
Press the
INFO
button
