Even though this video was for the M10-P, I found it useful for the M10.

You know you want a M10-P when you start watching settings menu videos.

Hi Nick. I have recently bought an M10-P and found this video very helpful. I also purchased the Visoflex EVF which I’d also like to comment on. Allowing for the fact this is only my second day shooting very briefly with the camera. I was wondering about highlight clipping. Is it meant to show when you review the photo on the camera. I find it very hard to see if I’m happy with a photo if the highlights are blinking all the time. Obvious solution is to reduce exposure prior to shooting and avoid the highlights but sometimes I dont care too much about highlights in the background, just the want the exposure right on the subject. I’ve been through the Capture Assistants menu and tried to turn off clipping but as soon as I exit back to the main menu clipping is on again. At the moment I’m finding it really distracting. I come from the world of Fuji and I have never used it and never found I really needed it. However If I was more comfortable with the camera that might change. I found myself pretty well unable to use the live view today due to the bright sunlight and thought I should try the EVF. It does solve the problem but it mystifies me at the same time. I know there are many purists who don’t even want live view screen, let alone evf. Fuji has the same class of user. I am a total convert to using the evf, although I also prefer the optical viewfinder at times for focussing. I have been spoiled by a system that offers optical and electronic viewfinders depending on your preference. The two things I noticed using the Visoflex is that the unit partially blocks access to the SS dial, which to me is an engineering design fault, not what I expected from Leica, and I have to say for a company that prides itself on the aesthetics as well as the engineering, having a big black chunk of something squatting on top sort of defeats the design. How simple it would be to have a rangefinder viewfinder that could operate equally as an EVF at the touch of a button (or menu setting). I hope that doesn’t sound unfair. It is simply my observation based on my experience. I’d be grateful if you have any advice on that highlight clipping question.

Very helpful, ok so tell us which ones are your revenue-earning cameras?

[tjmanou]

I have read that you have to recalibrate the optical vew finder to focus accurately every 1 year or so. Is that correct? Thank you

[stuartbaines]

Would prefer 1/shutter speed as auto setting .
Are there any Histogram setting variations ?

[benedictus]

Thank you for your explanation. I have one question what is the function of the button on the right back of the camera.

[shop-steinert]

Hello, I would like to see the service menue with the shutter counter. How can I access it?

[dgoullet]

What memory do you recommend for the M10 P?

[TomFreer]

Good information but the sound is awful.

Question to all: I had two frames out of 80 or so pictures have some corrupted stripes and glitches on the bottom 2/3rds of the frames. I use a 280 speed 128GB sandisk card that was formatted in an iMac as ExFAT. Is that appropriate? Don't want to have corrupted images again. It may also be the card read I'm using on my iMac.
