DISTANCE SETTING
Your Leica X-U allows automatic as well as manual distance settings.
Both modes cover a distance range from 20cm/7

“ to infinity.
AUTOMATIC DISTANCE SETTING/AUTOFOCUS
1. Turn the distance setting ring – overcoming the slight resistance
– to the
AF
position
2. Press the shutter button to the first pressure point to automati-
cally determine, set, and store the focus and with it the distance
• A successfully stored AF setting is displayed as follows:
– The color of the rectangle changes to green
– Up to 9 green rectangles appear with the 11-field metering
– An acoustic signal can be heard (if selected).
Notes:
• The setting is stored along with the exposure setting.
• In certain situations the AF system is unable to set the distance
correctly, e.g. when:
– The distance to the subject you are aiming at is outside the
available range, and/or
– The subject is not sufficiently illuminated (see next section).
Such situations and subjects are indicated by:
– The color of the rectangle changing to red
– The 11-field metering display changing to a single red rectangle
Important:
The shutter button is not locked, regardless of whether or not the
focusing is correct for the subject.
AF AUXILIARY LIGHT
The built-in AF auxiliary light extends the operating range of the AF
system in poor lighting conditions. If the function is active, this light
comes on as soon as the shutter button is pressed.
Select
AF Assist Lamp
in the menu and then make the required
setting in the sub-menu
Note:
The AF auxiliary light illuminates a range of approximately 4m/13ft.
AF mode is therefore not available at distances beyond this limit.
