Leica M EV1 - Initial Setup Guide

Following tradition on my channel when it comes to new cameras I own and like, here is a detailed setup guide for the new Leica M EV1. It all starts with a hard reset of the camera and then I show you how to set up the camera when you take it freshly out of box.

Below please find chapter marks for your convenience, organised in a way that all you need to know is the menu page where the respective setting is sitting and then you can conveniently jump to the corresponding section in the video.

@14:11 I was too quick, sorry for that: "Exposure Preview" on "Permanent" means that you see live your true exposure on continuous basis and not only if you half-press the shutter button. As said, keep it on "Permanent" since you will benefit from it and the additional battery drain is acceptable :)
