ASSISTANCE FUNCTION FOR MANUAL FOCUSING
To make it easier to set the distance and to increase the accuracy of
the setting, the Leica X Vario 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
MF Assist
in the menu, and the desired setting in the
submenu
2.
Determine the trimming
3.
Turn the distance setting ring (5) 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
DELETE/ FOCUS button (18), e.g. to check the setting again and
thus rule out any risk of it accidentally being changed.
