AF METERING MODES
The Leica X2 offers a choice of four AF metering modes. This allows you to
adapt the AF system to cope best with different subjects, situations, and
compositional ideas.
Press the
DELETE/FOCUS
button (1.15), and in the appearing menu, select
the desired setting. It is confirmed by pressing either the shutter release but-
ton (1.8) or the
MENU/SET
button (1.25).
1 AREA MODE
Focusing is based on the area indicated by an AF frame (2.1.9) in the center
of the screen. Since the area is larger than with Spot mode, targeting is less
discriminate and therefore easier, while still allowing selective metering.
In addition, you can move the AF-frame to anywhere on the screen, e.g. for
easier composition in the case of off-center subjects.
Press the
DELETE/FOCUS
button (1.15) for ≥1 second.
• On the screen, all displays except for the AF frame disappear. Red trian-
gles on all sides of the frame indicate the possible movement directions.
To indicate the movement limits, the respective triangles disappear near
the edges.
Use the direction buttons to move the AF frame to the desired position.
You can return the frame to the central position at any time with the
INFO
button (1.12). Press either the shutter release button (1.8) or the
DELETE/
FOCUS
button to exit this mode.
