Through a myriad of presentations, hands-on exercises and technical insights, you begin to think and see like the M10. From basic camera settings as a foundation, to step-by-step tips to help you increase the accuracy of your metering and speed of focus each session helps ensure that you are making the most of the capabilities of the Leica M10. Additional topics include an in-depth review of the M System, focusing techniques, customizing the camera, overview of Leica lenes, the keys to mastering the M10, discovering “The Leica Way of Seeing,”, an introduction to the Leica Foto App, and tips for post processing Leica Files.
