Q3 / Q3 43
• Automatic focusing on human features, e.g. eyes and faces, has been sig-
nificantly improved through AI-assisted models.
• The tracking algorithm automatically adjusts the size and shape of the
focus field during subject tracking. This results in more stable and reliable
performance over extended periods of time.
• The AF mode was revised and the menu structure was simplified.
Multi-Field and Spot were combined into one menu (Zone/Multi-Field and
Field/Spot). A new AF Acquisition menu is now available in both the FN list
and the Control Center. Expanded subject recognition: humans (eye/face/
body) and animals – including birds, dogs, wolves, cats, and big cats.
• Quick selection for digital zoom levels. Favorite focal lengths can now be
set and recalled via a function button.
• Video profiles have been integrated. The menu structure was adapted to
suit the new Leica user interface. All video modes can now be scrolled
through and selected directly.
