Thanks - great overview. For what it is worth, the speed at which you speak is perfect for an all-thumbs student (me) to follow along and match up the settings. Much appreciated.

Thank you! I can’t tell you how useful your videos are. This one has saved me as just changed from Canon to Leica!!🎉

Thanks to Nick RAINS for sharing his experience and settings of the Leica SL2. It's pragmatic and we can take advantage of this hindsight to save time in the discovery of this fabulous camera.

Thank you for making this helpful video, sir! I just got my hands on one and didn’t realize how simple and customizable the buttons were. Your explanations make sense and your particular setup reasoning gave me a lot to consider when shooting. Hope to see more relevant videos from you because they are worth viewing!

[jenklanify]

I could watch your videos all of the time! They're so insightful & pragmatic as I'm new to the SL2-S and Leica in general! I love photographing with this camera too (I came from Canon)!

[Lerxst]

This was excellent! Thanks so much for taking the time to go through all the settings.

Thanks for the video. That trick on cycling through the profiles to get different camera assistant views is very useful. The SL2 is a great upgrade.

[charlesfreeman]

This is exactly what I needed. No more, no less. Well done!!

Thank you. This was incredibly helpful. I just received an SL2-S and I was stumped on how to toggle the info profiles. You explained it at the end of the video. super helpful! I learned a few other helpful things from you as well.

Thank you for this video as I am new to the SL2. The walk through was informative and easy to follow.

[tonyvokey]

Very helpful!!
Thanks again!!!!

Hi Nick thanks for a very informative video I didn’t know that you can change the focus field size nice tip take care

[carlover]

Love the menu system in the SL2. Makes others look clunky.

I like the idea of a camera that doesn’t get get in the way for my wedding work, paired with my M10 and SL2 would be excellent I feel. Good instructional video, thank you...

[kwokster]

Nice one Nick. Wasn't aware of the depth of field indicators.

[gigirocks]

Hi Nick, thanks for the great video. I am about to purchase the SL2s, I think. I am wondering if these are about the same settings I might "borrow" if I do get the s?

Question: in case of using back button focus, where you focus with the joystick shoot with the release button, do you have to hold down the joystick while taking the picture, or is it fine to just single focus by pressing the joystick once and releasing to take the picture by pressing the release button afterwards?

Coming to the SL party a bit late =, but if using Manual mode with either an AF or manual focus lens can you set and apply the front rocker switch to magnification for any lens used-even M lenses too? Thanks for what you do.

[JOHNLANASIS]

At 5:49 you said that you set White Balance to daylight because you are shooting raw. Could you explain why this is as I have never heard this before. Many thanks
