Did you know that the Leaf back can automatically detect when you move from landscape to portrait?

In the Leaf Aptus, Aptus S and AFi, there is a sensor, which is responsible for the Auto Orientation functions of the back.  The sensor can tell when you shoot in landscape or portrait mode and can be adjusted from one of  two main functions.

 

In the Camera mode, go to Orientation.  Here you can choose the orientation of the incoming shot.  If the chosen mode is set to Auto, the Imaging Module’s sensor will determine the correct orientation.  You can also set the orientation manually by choosing Landscape, Portrait CW (Clock-Wise) or Portrait CCW (Counter-Clockwise).

 

 

From Setup mode

In the Setup mode, click Shoot View Options

 

 
      

From the Auto Rotation options, choose On or Off.

 

Did you know that the Imaging Module includes a built-in spot meter?
You can quickly check precisely where specific information falls on the histogram with the spot meter. While shooting, you can make sure that the highlights, mid-tones and shadows all fall correctly on the histogram.

For full manual control of the orientation of your image, use this setting to
override the Auto Orientation function.

In specific shooting situations, the sensors in the imaging module, which
determine the automatic orientation of the camera, may need to be
overridden. One situation may be when the lens is parallel to the ground,
like when shooting copy work for instance.
