LIMITING THE AUTOFOCUS SETTING RANGE
The autofocus system takes longer to run through the complete
setting range, i.e. from their closest focusing distance to infinity
when focusing macro lenses (with typically very short closest fo-
cusing distance) or with
lenses with a longer focal length.
Some Leica TL lenses
1
allow a limiting of their setting ranges to
speed up focusing. This is advisable if you know that you will only
need the close range or only the long range for specific exposures.
Activating the function
▸ Select
Focusing in the Main Menu (1st screen page)
▸ Select
Focus Limit in the submenu
▸ Function activation/deactivation
Using the function
Whether the
Focus Limit function should limit automatic focusing to
close range or long range depends first of all on the current lens
setting. You will still be able to switch between ranges at any time
by turning the focus ring. The following table illustrates the correla-
tions.
