Great Video, a true Workhorse of a Camera. Like your bit about the different mounting options, works with all. Keep Well & Stay Safe: 👍🇬🇧

Omg didn’t know my sl2s had a usbc charging port on side. Thank you. Only wish I could run camera w dead battery with that port. Need that newly released dummy battery. Many thanks

[@CameraWestTV]

We're glad about the new Leica USB-C DC-Coupler battery too! A much needed addition. Thanks for watching!

[@HatefYaminiOnline]

Great tip on saving user profiles! Thank you.

[@CameraWestTV]

Thanks for watching! Glad the tip helps!

Can’t wait to get my hands on this bad boy!

[@RamonBrito]

Love this camera and I couldn’t agree more when you spoke about the autofocus and the screen. Cheers other than that I love this camera

[@arshotsphotography]

Agree on the AF, it is spotty and Ihope they fix it with the SL3. Don't forget to mention the battery usage while filming goes FAST so have a few is a must. Great vid!

[@nilojuaneza]

Regarding Manual focus , Have you tried adjusting the degree of lens rotation while using SL lenses? This camera is hands down a workhorse. It has saved me a number of times when my Red malfunctioned on set.

Thanks for the great video I too own an SL2-S I would like to get some SD card info for shooting c4k all-I reliably. what SD card did you use?

[@giolee1274]

awesome video. I learned a ton. Seriously cosidering selling all my Canon gears to fund the sl2-s. Quick question, how's the focus peaking feature and does it have a self timer burst mode? Lastly, does it have a built in STOP MOTION ANIMATION FEATURE? (like then Panasonic GH series)

[@DavidWagelmans]

No no build in stop animation :) Focus peaking is good but not the greatest. The viewfinder is one of the best out there though

[@giolee1274]

@@DavidWagelmans cool thank you buddy

[@askpauld]

Do you have a rig for this camera?

[@garryclarkson7224]

No filmmaker ever uses autofocus in Cinema. Use focus peaking and manual lenses. Simple.
