However, -3 to +3 diopter lenses are available if required. 73x and a standard dioptre setting of -0.5 diopter. Like the previous M10-series cameras, the M10-R’s viewfinder has a magnification of. The maximum exposure time in Bulb mode is 16 minutes.Īs you’d expect with a Leica M camera, the aperture is set using a ring on the lens. The dial rotates in 1/2-stops so you can set values between the marked shutter speeds.
Meanwhile, the shutter speed dial is marked in whole stops from 8-1/4000 sec and there are markings for Bulb and Automatic. Or it can be set automatically within the parameters specified in the menu. While the dial only allows settings to be adjusted in wholes stops, setting it to ‘M’ allows the value to be adjusted in 1/3EV steps via the menu. The dial needs to be pulled up before it can be rotated, but you can leave it up if you want to change settings quickly.
#LEICA M10 ISO#
There are markings to set the M10R to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 32 or A for automatic and M for Menu. The sensitivity (ISO) dial is at the far left end of the plate while the shutter speed dial is next to shutter button the right. It’s solid and politely whispers quality.Īnd it is a whisper as the M10-R has the same dampened shutter mechanism that Leica introduced with the M10-P.įollowing the same design layout as the M10 and its friends, the Leica M10R has a three-button layout to the left of the screen on its back and sensitivity and shutter speed dials on its top-plate. Naturally for Leica, the M10R has a die-cast magnesium chassis and brass top and bottom covers, so it feels every bit the Leica M camera. This slimmer profile has been used for all the M10 variants including the M10-R. Leica’s engineers and designers managed to slice 4mm off the depth, which makes a significant difference to the feel of the camera. When it was designing the M10, Leica put a lot of effort into reducing the camera’s size in comparison with the M Typ 240. This also shows the live view complete with magnification and focus peaking if it’s activated via the menu.Īnother modern nicety that has made it into the M10-R is Wi-Fi connectivity, and the camera is compatible with Leica’s FOTOS smartphone app for fast image sharing.
The Leica M10R can also be used with the optional 2.4Mp Leica Visoflex electronic viewfinder that connects to the camera via the hotshoe. Helpfully, the camera can also automatically magnify the focus point (which can be set with a tap on the screen) and show focus peaking to help with focusing. However, there is a live view mode so it is possible to compose images on the 3-inch 1,036,800-dot touchscreen on the back of the camera. Consequently, the M10R can only shoot still images, not movies. Video-freeĪccording to Leica, its M-series photographers have been very clear about their dislike of video. Combined with the sensor, this enables a base sensitivity setting of ISO 100 – 50,000. Like the Leica M10, M10-P and M10 Monochrom, the Leica M10R has the Maestro II processing engine. In addition, at around 13.5 EV, the dynamic range is said to be the best of any Leica M-series digital camera that shoots colour. However, as I’ve already mentioned, the Leica M10-R’s sensor has a colour filter array which means that it captures colour images.Īlthough the M10-R has the highest resolution of any Leica M-series colour digital camera, according to the manufacturer, it also has the best low-light performance to date. That’s the same resolution as the Leica M10 Monochrom which captures black and white images. Leica has given the M10-R a 40.89Mp sensor. When the two images perfectly overlie each other, the subject is in focus. Consequently, there’s a rectangle in the centre of the optical viewfinder that shows two faint versions of the subject when it’s out of focus. As a Leica M camera, the M10-R (Type 6376) is a manual-focus rangefinder camera.
