Manual Distance Setting; Assistance Function For Manual Focusing - Leica X (Typ 113) Anleitung

Manual distance setting

For certain subjects and situations, it can be beneficial to set the
distance yourself, rather than using autofocus. For example, if you are
using the same setting for several pictures and it would be more work
to use exposure lock, or if you want to keep the setting at infinity for
landscape pictures.
Use the corresponding ring on the lens to set the distance manually
From the AF position, you first have to overcome a slight resistance.
The optimum setting is reached when the monitor image shows the
critical part(s) of your subject as you want it to be reproduced.

ASSISTANCE FUNCTION FOR MANUAL FOCUSING

To make it easier to set the distance and to increase the accuracy of
the setting, the Leica X provides you with assistance by showing an
enlarged view of a central detail of the picture.
Reason: The larger details of the subject are shown in the monitor,
the better you can assess their sharpness and the more accurately
you can set the distance. This "magnifying glass function" enlarges a
central detail of the monitor screen:
1. Select in the menu, and the desired setting in the
MF Assist
submenu
2. Determine the trimming
3. Turn the distance setting ring on the lens so that the desired
parts of the subject have optimum focus
• If the function is active, an approximately 6x enlarged detail of
the image appears above the scale. It disappears approximate-
ly 5s after the last distance setting.
You can move the trimming to any position in the monitor using the
direction pad, e.g. for off-center subjects or so that other parts of the
image remain visible.
Note:
You can display the enlarged detail at any time by pressing the
button, e.g. to check the setting again and thus rule
DELETE/ FOCUS
out any risk of it accidentally being changed.
