MANUAL FOCUSING
Focusing manually may in some situations be a better choice than
autofocus.
Manual focusing is preferable if:
– the same setting is used for several exposures
– it would take longer to use the metering memory lock function
– the setting is to be kept at infinity for landscape pictures
– poor, i.e. very dark lighting conditions prevent AF operation or
would slow it down.
▸ Select
Focusing in the Main Menu (1st screen page)
▸ Select
Focus Mode in the submenu
▸ Select
MF
Manual focusing is done by turning the focus ring on the lens.
The best setting is achieved when the screen image shows the key
part(s) of your subject as you want them to appear.
Note
Manual focusing is possible in auto focus mode as well – with the
shutter button pat the first pressure point.
ASSIST FUNCTION FOR MANUAL FOCUSING
Your LeicaCL offers two useful tools to facilitate settings and im-
prove setting accuracy:
• The enlarged display of a central section:
The larger the details of the subject appear on screen, the better
you can assess their sharpness.
• Marking of clearly focused subjects (focus peaking): Edges of
sharply rendered subject parts are marked in a color, making it
easy to identify the best setting.
Both functions are activated as part of the factory settings. You
can choose to only activate Focus Peaking, or only the enlarge-
ment function – or to deactivate both.
Selecting functions

Focusing in the Main Menu (1st screen page)

tions or for various subject types:
