Leica Q2 Set-Up Guide / Menu Walkthrough

[@luischavezphoto]

Leica decided to release a firmware update on the same day I released this video. You can download the 4.0 update on the Leica website which adds highlight weighted exposure metering. leica-camera.com/en-US/photography/cameras/q/q2-black/firmware

TKS so much for your time to making this video. I’m a newborn with Leica Q2 and he helped me understand my camera.

[@James-mk8jp]

Picked up a used Q2 for $4K, mostly because of what I saw on your channel. Keep it up!

[@brianalucas]

As a new owner of the Q2 I found this video to be very useful. Thank you.

[@veejaymexico4840]

Mi Hermano, absolute genius!! thank you so much for covering everything so extensively and simply! You have assisted me in every way! Saludos de Mexico!

[@luischavezphoto]

Thank you for watching!

I love Leica. I always thought that these cameras are for artists and highly ambitious hobbyists. Great that this gentleman uses this camera also for classic photography jobs like weddings. Very interesting.

[@bren_ohara]

Had my Leica Q2 for a few months now, and love it. However I was having a problem with random blurry photos, even in good light and just couldn't figure out why. Your video helped answer that question. Turning off the image stabilisation appears to have fixed that! Thank you.

[@dariakeim1162]

Dear Luis, thank you very much for your videos! I find your jobs really great. I've got my Leica Q2 2 day before and I'm soooo in love with it. Maybe, you could do a video with some tips for a wedding photography with Leica Q2?

[@Fozzyboy704]

To follow Bill's comment on the firmware 4.0 update...would love to get your feedback on the enhancements/changes in this version.

[@luischavezphoto]

Yes, poor timing on my part. Haha

[@leejaved4183]

Just bought my Leica Q2 and just getting comfortable to learn how to use it. Enjoyed this video and helpful. However, would like to know more about using the EVF. Looking forward to more videos

[@tyblo004]

You explain so well but soo well that honestly is a money saving !

[@dotmalec]

Thank you! Unpacking my Q2 just now!

[@msayloradiginfo]

I enjoyed your video and found it quite useful. When you select different features I found it difficult to follow along, may I suggest to you that you slow down your selections so that it is easier to parrot your moves in real time.

[@JayRegular]

Thanks for this Luis, for the day I acquire my very own! but can we just take a second to admire how nicely weathered that thumbgrip is guys?

[@luischavezphoto]

You can definitely tell I use my cameras with all the scratches. 😂

[@olinguito40]

Many thanks for a very clear and helpful video. Firmware update 5.0 was announced yesterday. Very easy to install. More videos on your experiences while using the Q2 would be brilliant, and perhaps a comparison with the Q2 Monochrome.

[@nicvorton]

Super helpful, Luis. Thank you!

[@Eskugorri]

Hola Luis, gracias por el vídeo, te puedo pedir que ajustes de color usas en Lr para editar la foto 6:46 ? gracias!

[@ccbphoto]

Thanks so making this video

[@illini81]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@spencer6194]

Hi! Seems like my touch screen isn't working? Just got my Q2, and the menu doesn't let me use touch like you're doing in this video. Not seeing an option to turn it on or off anywhere. Any ideas?

[@tomodwyer877]

Hi Luis, this has been tremendously useful. I'd love to know you're Street Night settings. Thanks

[@garymc8956]

Very useful as a new user. But when changing some settings suddenly a lot of them were greyed out. Don’t know what happened or what I did. I reset the camera to get them back. Any idea? Thanks for this.

[@janolsen8987]

Hi. I have a Q2, and struggle with fokus when I take photo of persons face, then the background are sharp but the face are unsharp. This is with AF! Best regards Jan

[@kimevans2286]

With the PASM setting, how do you access them? I have just come over from a Sony a6000, which allows you to select these individually on the dial, thanks.

[@bongpeninoy6313]

Hey Luis , how are you ? Quick question . What do you recommend sd card use for the q2? Uhs I or II?? Thank you

[@1948yaqui]

Luis, do you offer personal lessons on the Q2?

[@jonasschanze5897]

Most men: One day I’ll afford a Rolex Us: Leica Q2 Monochrom, here I come!!!

[@billsolo1]

This video is not updated for firmware update 4.0, released yesterday, the day before you posted this. With the Exposure Metering Setting, you are omitting Highlighted-Weighed among other settings. On your next video, can you provide your revised setup on the 4.0 update changes? Great video otherwise. Thanks.

[@luischavezphoto]

Yes, correct Bill. This video was very poor timing so hopefully still useful!

[@Nikolaiustinov]

Thanks from Germany. Looking forward to more videos about Leica q2. Do you have presets and do you get the so-called Leica look with the Leica q 2?

[@jonsf]

I really like your talking head shot, it looks so soft but clear and theres some light halation. Are you shooting it with the SL2-S w/ 24-70? Can you do a set up breakdown if you haven't done already? great video!!

[@luischavezphoto]

Thank you so much! This was actually shot with a Sony A7IV with a cheap 35mm lens and a prism lens effects filter on.

[@jonsf]

@@luischavezphoto gonna need a link to that filter +__+

[@willpowersinstitute]
