Leica M10 additional information

By LR admin | Published: December 16, 2016

Leica-M10-logo
Some additional information on the Leica M10 camera:

  • The camera looks very much like the film Leica MP. It appears to be made of black chrome and it is very slim compared to previous digital M models.
  • There are no openings for a microphone or a speaker.
  • The dial for the ISO on the top plate has the settings A – M and then goes from 100 to 6,400.
  • The camera on switch has only one setting and it’s marked with a dot. No S – C options (for single/continuous shooting).
  • Next to the display on the left are only 3 buttons: LV, Play and Menu as well as 2 LEDs (this is probably done to fit the larger LCD screen).
  • Update: there is also a setting dial as well as direction pad on the back.
  • The M10 does not have video recording, but it does have Live View.
  • The flash shoe has the same EVF connector as the TL – previous rumors indicated that the M10 will use the same EVF from the TL:
