  • 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.
  • Leica M10's bright-line frame selector lets you preview different focal lengths in the viewfinder without changing lenses. This feature is excellent for quickly visualizing compositions in street photography.
