AF metering modes

The Leica X2 offers a choice of four AF metering modes. This allows you to adapt the AF system to cope best with different subjects, situations, and compositional ideas.

Press the DELETE/FOCUS button (1.15), and in the appearing menu, select the desired setting. It is confirmed by pressing either the shutter release but- ton (1.8) or the MENU/SET button (1.25).

1 area mode

Focusing is based on the area indicated by an AF frame (2.1.9) in the center of the screen. Since the area is larger than with Spot mode, targeting is less discriminate and therefore easier, while still allowing selective metering.

In addition, you can move the AF-frame to anywhere on the screen, e.g. for easier composition in the case of off-center subjects.

Press the DELETE/FOCUS button (1.15) for ≥1 second.

On the screen, all displays except for the AF frame disappear. Red trian- gles on all sides of the frame indicate the possible movement directions. To indicate the movement limits, the respective triangles disappear near the edges.

Use the direction buttons to move the AF frame to the desired position. You can return the frame to the central position at any time with the INFO button (1.12). Press either the shutter release button (1.8) or the DELETE/ FOCUS button to exit this mode.
