Camera-Specific Tips
- Use the dedicated ISO dial on the top plate of the Leica M10 to quickly adjust your sensitivity settings without diving into menus. This allows for seamless adjustments while keeping your eye on the scene.
- The Leica M10's manual focus system is enhanced by the rangefinder's split-image focusing. Align the two images in the center of the viewfinder for precise focus, especially useful for portraits with shallow depth of field.
