Camera-Specific Tips
- Use the Leica Q-P's integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF) to enable focus peaking. This feature highlights the edges of in-focus areas in red, helping you achieve precise focus, especially in low-light or complex scenes.
- The Leica Q-P's thumb dial on the back of the camera allows you to adjust the shutter speed quickly. This ergonomic design ensures you can make adjustments on the fly without taking your eye off the viewfinder.
