FOCUSING
In autofocus mode, the camera sets the sharpness automatically, while the user turns the focus ring

manually in manual mode. The speed at which you turn the ring determines how quickly the setting
changes. You can therefore make fine adjustments or quickly move from a close-up to a long range
setting. Please refer to the relevant sections in the camera manual for more details.
DEPTH OF FIELD
No depth of field scale is provided, because Leica SL lenses don't come with an aperture settings
ring. Instead, the top display of the camera shows the near and far focal length limits of the depth of
field alongside the set distance.
LENS HOOD
APO-Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH. comes with a lens hood
optimally adapted to the beam paths.

The perfectly symmetrical bayonet fitting allows an attachment of the lens hood in reverse for more
compact storage. In both cases, it is attached (with the lens cap removed) with one of the alignment
points on the lens hood

then turned by approx. 30° in clockwise direction until it audibly clicks into place.
The lens hood should remain attached as long as the camera is carried ready for use or is in use. It
effectively eliminates contrast-reducing stray light and protects the front lens against damage and
soiling (e.g. accidental fingerprint marks).
FILTERS
APO-Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH. is compatible with screw filters of type E 67. Matching filters are
available from Leica.
