LUX DELUX REVIEW MANUAL

HDMI socket on the right side lets you playback the photos or video on your TV. The only reason this can be usefull I could think of was when shooting time lapses at night when you might be afraid of running out of battery and want to use external battery source. The battery door actually has a small opening which can be used for example for the battery with external charging.

On the bottom plate you can find speaker for playback sound, standard tripod screw and battery door. But that does not mean you can not be complete beginner since the camera offers automatic options for both settings. So what you notice is that things like shutter speed and aperture are located outside and need to be set manually.

The A button is for “snapshot mode.” Holding the button down will cancel any manual settings and turns the camera into fully automatic no matter what your shutter speed or aperture is. It turns out the F button is there for filters and can not be reprogrammed. I have to actually look into the manual since I had no idea what the other two buttons are for. Other than that there is a dial for a shutter speed with an ON/OFF button, exposure compenstion and zoom together with the shutter button. On the top of the place you have a hot shoe where you can connect your flash or remote for external flash. You can record video only in 16:9 format. On the top you can set your aspect ratio to 3 by 2, 16 by 9, 4 by 3 or square ratio for photography. On the left side of the ring you can set your focus to auto, macro or manual (which to be honest, you are probably never going to to use since the autofocus is pretty good). Its has 1 ring with aperture and one multifunctional ring that you can set in the menu for multiple things such as focusing, zoom or ISO. Which is a zoom lens which comes out when you turn on the camera. This Leica is equiped with fast f/1.7-2.8 DC Vario-Summilux 24-75mm equivalent lens. So let’s lets take a look from the outside.
