AUTOFOCUS METERING METHODS
For optimized adjustment of the AF system to various subjects,
situations and your picture composition ideas, you can choose
between four AF metering methods on the Leica X-U:
1. Press the
DELETE/FOCUS
button and select the desired setting
in the sub-menu
2. Save your settings via the
MENU/SET
or
INFO
button
Spot/Single Field Measurement
Both measuring methods capture only the parts of the subject in the
center of the monitor image. The relevant fields are marked with a small
AF frame. The very small metering range for spot measurement allows
focusing on tiny details of the subject. For portrait close-ups it is
usually recommended to have a sharp focus on the eyes. The slightly
longer single field measuring range is less critical when focusing, and
therefore easier to handle while still allowing selective measuring.
Both measuring methods allow you to shift the AF frame to any point
on the monitor screen, e.g. for simplified use for off-center subjects:
1. Hold the
DELETE/FOCUS
button pressed for ≥1s
• All displays apart from the AF frame disappear. Red triangles
on all sides of the frame indicate possible movement
directions.
2.
Use the cross pad to move the AF frame to the desired position
• The relevant triangles disappear when you get close to the
edges to indicate the offset limits.
You can return the frame to the central position at any time:
