This way I can fairly quick take a shot, judge the exposure and turn the exposure-dial to the correct or preferred exposure time and continue from there. When I walk inside a building, I set the lens to F/2.0 because (because I want to utilize the lens to the fullest and don't loose speed on exposure) and the exposure to AUTO. So when I have the camera over the shoulder, and I always have (unless I'm holding it in my right hand), I press the shutter a little to turn the camera ON whenever I want to be sure the camera is ready for shooting.
And the camera will be fairly fast ready when you press the shutter a little. So the camera will use very little battery as only the EVF screen inside the camera is on, and turns off after a while. I always have the Digilux 2 ON, and the screen is always off. I use an Olympus FL-40 flash, together with an Olympus FL-BK01 flash bracket, and a Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2 on one my LC1s and it works very, very well." By the same token, many Olympus flash units work just fine with the Digilux 2 in their automatic (guide-number) modes. After some use the foil will get in the way and get ruined from opening and closing the flash (unless you mount it more intelligent than I did).Įxternal flash on Panasonic DMC-LC1 and Leica Digilux 2: Jeffrey Goggin has taken this photo of his Panasonic DMC-LC1: "The Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2 works just fine on the Digilux 2 body, allowing you to attach an external flash unit off camera. Inserted frame show how the orange foil has been mounted with gaffa tape. The elegant lady is Lene Nystrom of AQUA at the Annhagen fashion show at Copenhagen Fashion Week. The one you need is the #3408 1/2 CTO (converts 5500 Kelvin to 3800 Kelvin) or #3409 (converts 5500 Kelvin to 4500 Kelvin).Įxample of a shot using the orange filter on the flash.

The ORANGE filter I got, I got from Midwest Photo Exchange and it's called Strobist Pro Color Correction Filter Pack and contains a number of filters of different colors.

That will give you nice shots in clubs and other places wher people's skin look rather healthy instead of the ash-grey-I'm-aheroine-addict skin tones flash ususally produce.ġ/4 orange probably is the Scandinavian look, the 1/2 orange the American look they tend to prefer warmer colors in the US. Mount a 1/4 or 1/2 ORANGE filter on the flash and set the camera (see inserted frame in the photo below) to AUTO and the White Balance to Tungsten (ca. the Digilux 2 can do something interesting with portraits taken of persons 1-2 meters away. And this is even more true for cameras with small pop-up flash'es which can't light up a place anyways. I suggest people to NEVER use flash because flash is simply ugly light. Natural light from top, left and right, plus a 100 cm silver reflector from behind the photographer's left. Olavur Patursson, April 2008 at Kirkjubour, Faeroe Islands. But that is actually all the difference the setting make - theoretically. So I always try to make sure I haven't changed from AF to AF-Macro by accident when using the camera. Though in real life I've noticed that when the lens is on AF-Macro it tends to "time-out" the AF so that the result will be out of focus. Note that the difference between the AF and the AF-Macro setting on the Leica Digilux 2 (on the lens barrel) is just a choice between having the AF search for focus from Macro to infinity or (which will be faster) from near focus to infinity.

So if you use Macro for portraits, also do a series without Macro - just in case! And most often you won't notice before you see the files on the computer screen. But be careful because when the Digilux 2 is on Macro, it will sometimes indicate that AF has focused (with the steady green dot in the viewfinder on) even you're outside the focus range of the Macro. Bot another way to do it, is using the Macro for portraits, as in the example below. At 90mm and f/2.4 it's possible to get some when shooting close. The Digilux 2 has a small sensor making it VERY dificult to obtain DOF. But for many, DOF is a way to create atmosphere and/or focus on certain things in the picture. In many cases total sharpness over the whole field of couse is nice, as quite many people regard sharpness in pictures as a main quality. One thing small-sensor cameras never have is DOF (Depth Of Field, or simply unsharp fore-/background). Using Macro for Portraits (tips and trick continued from page 1)
