The shots it takesĭespite the M10 sporting a new 24MP CMOS full-frame sensor, I wasn’t taken by surprise like I was with the Leica Q and SL’s sensors. That leaves exporting photos to your SD card slot or using the M10 app for iOS (Android version releasing “soon”), where you can migrate photos over the camera’s Wi-Fi, including remote control of the M10 system.įor those of you wondering: It has a Gorilla Glass screen and is machined from brass, making it a hefty 23.3 oz (660 grams) with battery, sans lens or strap. Interestingly, Leica left out most ports on the M10 leaving just an accessory hot shoe, SD card and battery slot. The Visoflex also includes a GPS module, so those of you who like geo-tagging can get to it. It made shooting for the eye-perspective slightly easier for me, considering vision correction, and feel more intuitive. Plus, five frames-per-second continuous shooting, a 2GB buffer for RAW and JPEG files and a new Maestro II image processor makes life a little easier and faster.įor a little extra ($545, in fact), Leica will sell you the Visoflex (Type 020), a 2.4MP electronic viewfinder (EVF) so you can see the world as you would through the screen, including real-time changes of settings. But in reality, that’s all you really need for taking photos on an interchangeable-lens camera. That’s all you get for nearly $11,000 - no touchscreen.
#LEICA M10R ISO#
The controls of the M10 are dead simple: a D-pad, scroll wheel, ISO dial, shutter-speed dial, shutter button with on/off switch, an optical viewfinder/rangefinder and a trifecta of Live view, Play and Menu buttons. Leica knows that, so catering to photographers who want a straightforward user experience was one of M10’s objectives. Of course, because Leicas have such high price tags, the market is about the brand diehards who shoulder the costs.
Autofocus isn’t available on the f/1.4 35mm Summilux lens, so it’s all up to your trained eye and focus peaking (an AF assist available in settings).
#LEICA M10R MANUAL#
To be able to use a Leica camera effectively, you need to know all your manual camera controls - apertures, shutter speeds, focusing, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance.
