Leica 18430 Manuel D’Utilisation

ASSISTANCE FUNCTION FOR MANUAL FOCUSING
To make it easier to set the distance and to increase the accuracy of 

the setting, the Leica X Vario provides you with assistance by showing 

an enlarged view of a central detail of the picture.

Reason: The larger details of the subject are shown in the monitor, 

the better you can assess their sharpness and the more accurately 

you can set the distance. This "magnifying glass function" enlarges a 

central detail of the monitor screen:

1. 

Select 

MF Assist

 in the menu, and the desired setting in the 

submenu

2. 

Determine the trimming

3. 

Turn the distance setting ring (5) on the lens so that the desired 

parts of the subject have optimum focus

• If the function is active, an approximately 6x enlarged detail of 

the image appears above the scale. It disappears approximate-

ly 5s after the last distance setting.

You can move the trimming to any position in the monitor using the 

direction pad, e.g. for off-center subjects or so that other parts of the 

image remain visible.

You can display the enlarged detail at any time by pressing the 

DELETE/ FOCUS

 button (18), e.g. to check the setting again and 

thus rule out any risk of it accidentally being changed.
