Always great advice and wonderful pics! One time when I was using my CL, I never turned the sound off and I had it set to auto focus mode. As the camera made the sound that it was in focus, it attracted a little bird that sat in a tree next to me. Every time the camera "beeped", the bird would answer. I think it fell in love with the CL! LOL :D

Hey Matt! Thank you for those tips. Last Saturday I went to Cologne with my daughter to visit CSD, which is a big 3 day party thing in the city for decades. I decided to grab my Q (Type116) to take some crowdy photos. It was a sunny day, so I tried something new. I've added a ND8 filter to the camera and set the Q to full automatic (ISO, time and aperture). Back home I checked the EXIF of the pictures and was surprised. The Q choosed lowest ISO (mostly ISO100) and aperture as wide as possible, without using electronic shutter (≤ 1/2000). So I've got bright day pics with a beautiful deep look an colours. I'm again amazed of that little smart camera …

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Great tip Thomas thanks and I love that the Q defaults to 1.7 ISO 100. It is an awesome camera isn’t it!

I always use 2 cameras for events and stage: one wide and one portrait, but I find 85mm often too long. 70mm would be ideal. Obviously, a standard zoom works great - but it is heavy. With the Q, what focal length lens is on the second body?

Hi Matt! Thanks for the great video 🙌🏻 Last time I remarked that I found the buffer to be very lacklustre. Also occasionally I observed the camera freezing up on me after a few consecutive shots. After I watched your recent video I saw that you shoot in dng only mode. I was shooting in dng + jpeg. I switched to dng only as well and now the buffer behaviour is much better and I hadn’t one freezup until now. Maybe this is helpful for some. One more thing. I found that the performance after wake-up was much better when low energy mode was off. Battery performance doesn’t seem to take a huge hit with the minimal sleep times 👍🏻 Thanks again and glad you enjoy shooting the little black beauty 🤩

[@ukaszpodsiadlo9877]

I have a strange problem with my Leica Q. With all controls (including the aperture) set to A the aperture remains fixed at 1.7, with the other controls (ISO, shutter speed) changing with light conditions. Manually changing the aperture using the aperture ring works well, but the automatic position doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

To have full control you need shutter speed set manually on the top of the camera, ISO set manually with auto ISO off and aperture set manually on the lens. The camera will often default to f1.7 if in A mode (from my experience)

[@SuperExadidas]

Thanks for these tips. May we know, what ISO you normally you use in outdoor shooting?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks. ISO 100 if sunny (the same as if shooting film) ..then increase ISO as needed (if darker)

Hi Matt. Thank you for your great and very helpful videos. Godox has introduced the XPROII-L flash trigger. According to the specification, the trigger is only compatible with the Q2.

Thanks a lot for these tips. There's only one thing that I don't get: what's the point of setting the white balance (on whatever setting) if one shoots in raw ? If anyone could give me a clue about this, that would be great. Thanks !

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

It stops the WB changing from photo to photo so you can edit images in a sequence with the same colour look.

[@philociraptor6751]

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Thanks for your answer, Matt. Yes, that's what you say in the video, but I don't get it: the WB only affects the JPEG file, not the RAW file, right ?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

@@philociraptor6751 RAW records the WB you shoot at. Try it it should change as you change the WB

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Good video Matt In addition: Since the Q series has a leaf shutter (and I shoot flash regularly and don't mind the max. sync speed around 1/200 as with focal plain cameras) one could think there is no first or rear curtain flash possibility to take great shots where movement is accentuated, but it still has that feature only technically it works a bit different but by setting it is easy. Second one: When taking shots with backlight (clear sky) or some sort of light in the frame that may become overexposed, I use the thumb button (back button) to set my exposure "to the right/light" by aiming on that "hot spot" or background sky (still using spot metering) and lock the exposure and take the shot. The subjects will be underexposed but that easily recovered from RAW in post. So now you can ALWAYS use spot metering for normal shots and occasional aim for the hot spots and you don't have to change the metering way every time. Just an idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks RS, with weddings there often isn’t time to aim for light dark AND then focus. It’s one press yo get both but yes your setup sounds good for other applications. I tend to shoot M mode so it’s all a bit new to me ha.

[@Noparticularcontext]

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom that would be great, I’m still on the fence between the original q or the q2 and consuming as much content at the moment for both. For mobile users all you would have to do is add each preset to an image and then for mobile users you offer a download link to lets say an image pack, each image has each preset used in it. When you open those images in Lightroom mobile you can copy the settings and save it as a new preset within Lightroom mobile if that makes sense. I know this works as I’ve done it before my self to copy over presets when I had a computer.
