Now that the SL3 has been released, I was able to pick up a gently used SL2 at a decent price. I am super excited to get out there and shoot with it. Just want you all to know how much I appreciate your tutorials. This afternoon, I sat with the camera and watched your video from start to finish, stopping along the way and repeating sections as necessary. Thanks to you, I have a good idea of how the SL2 will function and how to make modifications to suit my needs. Thank you for your excellent guidance. I am grateful that you all took the time to thoroughly tour the menu and setting options.
Josh and David, thank you for this incredibly helpful tutorial on the SL2! I just bought one in preparation for a new project, and I was flummoxed by the lack of physical dials and by the endless array of customization options. I searched the internet for a detailed but also accessible guide and was just frustrated by the lack of helpful information. Until I found this video. It is absolutely terrific! Thank you!
Unbelievably helpful. Dispelled a number of incorrect setting information I've seen on other TH-cam videos including Leica Australia and Mathphotographer
I just bought the SL2-S Reporter and I have spent the last few hours going through this episode to help me set up the camera. I am still looking forward to the M11 and Leica Fotos episodes.
Really terrific episode. Couple of thoughts: 1. Profiles - Handheld, Tripod, Astro, Macro, Video. 2. Other episodes - M11, Q2 Menues; How to use a tripod; Fotos - all will be great input to help us use our tools more effectively! THANK-YOU
I really enjoyed this video on menu settings for the SL2. Could you please do the Q2-Q next?! There are many Q-system users out here in LEICA land that could really benefit from a Q episode. Thank you.
I think that this episode was fantastic and I liked everything about it. I also created a profile of all of your suggestions since now I understand what some of the menu items actually do. Specifically for me it ended my confusion between User Profiles and Capture Assistant Profiles. I also stole David's Landscaping Profile. Now I will go out and use them This show was better than a manual. Maybe you should both write the next manual for Leica? Your explanations were exact and understandable as were your examples. Keep it up! So much to say but so little time!
Useful and entertaining. I would really benefit if you could do an M-11 Menu Episode. Some of the finer points and the back and forth about some of your daily workflows would be just as useful to we M shooters.
Please please consider reviewing the joystick lock options in manual and the lock options in auto focus and how to use them. This would be very very helpful.
Will you do menu episode on the D Lux 7 as it is complex to understand how to set up so many features even B&W filters & more. So much more then other Leica camera's
Indeed, the DOF info is visible in the top display in MF mode with Sigma DGDN lenses. Perhaps next episode we could comnmect David's SL2 with HDMI output to Producer Jose. Then we could see what his camera displays. Would love to see the eye focus in action. Lots of good features, makes me want to upgrade from my SL (601).
Thank you very much, great video. Both being outdoor shooters, I would love to know how you clean your camera and lenses (SL2)? Also I used to shoot Nikon before I went all in with Leica and regarding the user profils I regret it won’t take in consideration the aperture and the shutter speed like Nikon did
I have a question, to which I haven't found an answer to. Can one change colour of the chosen menu item? It is now red. Due to my colour vision deficiency, that is not ideal. Edit:Typo
Great video! Two questions: 1) highlight weighted - is this really useful only for landscape? Or will this also be helpful for general street photography or portraiture? 2) what’s the tabletop tripod you’re using on the leicas?
Thank you very much. I am renting the SL2 and just received today. I found you and I'm covered in one day -Thank you-Thank you-you uncomplicated the whole thing. 😊 👍🤏

I just got a "new" SL2-S to join my CL...and this has very, very helpful. Thank you after 2 years 😀and a very big 👐 from Portugal.

A game changer, super helpful, kicks up my understanding of this camera which I use every day. Now to work through my user profiles. Bravo!
Bravo. Another excellent, informative, and practical dive into Leica knowledge. Keep up the great work gentlemen!
Very helpful - I learned many new things and am looking forward to seeing other systems - thank you
Fantastic! My SL2 comes tomorrow!

Great Format. Appreciate the in-depth. Please do Menu Episode for M. (Also an Audio episode, a Video Episode, and a Hotshot Episode...)
Please please consider reviewing the joystick lock options in manual and the lock options in auto focus and how to use them. This would be very very helpful.
BTW, yes the DOF calculations works with non-Leica Sigma L-Mount lenses, and the prime Lumix lenses.

brilliant as I am about to add the SL-2 to my 3 M's :))
Great item! Would highly recommend!
Excellent, informative, helpful.
Thank you very much, great video. Both being outdoor shooters, I would love to know how you clean your camera and lenses (SL2)?
Also I used to shoot Nikon before I went all in with Leica and regarding the user profils I regret it won’t take in consideration the aperture and the shutter speed like Nikon did
when new firmware comes through, is a new manual (book or e-book) created?
Very helpful thank you
Can you shoot to both sd cards in video mode, so you have a back up copy.
I have a question, to which I haven't found an answer to. Can one change colour of the chosen menu item? It is now red. Due to my colour vision deficiency, that is not ideal.
Edit:Typo
Great video! Two questions:
1) highlight weighted - is this really useful only for landscape? Or will this also be helpful for general street photography or portraiture?
2) what’s the tabletop tripod you’re using on the leicas?
Thank you very helpful
@36:36: MF is grayed out with a Sigma autofocus lens. Do you have the same?
This is disabled in menu since the Sigma lenses have a manual AF/MF toggle switch on the lens.
How do you save user profile to a memory card?
In the User Profile menu, select Manage Profiles, the use Export Profiles to save to an SD card.
please do Q, X and others
Leica needs to add a self timer bracketing mode.
It's on there!
@@The_golden_charlieyes. Back when I made this original comment it was not. It was added a year later in a subsequent firmware update a year ago or so
No SL601 tips. Sad.
The BBF feature works on the OG SL. Still love mine, but if I could justify spending $5K...
Thank you very much. I am renting the SL2 and just received today. I found you and I'm covered in one day -Thank you-Thank you-you uncomplicated the whole thing.
