Tips for Your Camera
- Your Leica SL2-S has in-body stabilization (~5.5 stops). In this scene, you can often handhold at slower shutter speeds than the table shows.
These values are general recommendations. The wizard gives you values optimized for your Leica SL2-S and lens — plus step-by-step menu paths.
Camera-Specific Tips
- The Leica SL2-S features a high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a live histogram overlay. Use this to ensure your exposure is perfect before you take the shot, avoiding blown highlights or underexposed areas.
- Customize the function button (Fn) on the Leica SL2-S to quickly access your most-used settings. This can make adjusting settings on the fly much faster and more intuitive.
- The Leica SL2-S is weather-sealed, making it ideal for shooting in challenging outdoor conditions. Don't hesitate to take it out in the rain or dusty environments to capture stunning landscapes.
