Leica Live-View functionality

Please see the following short description of the different features:

Download Images

Download images from the camera, store and display them in Capture One.

Properties

The ability to get and set the camera properties. There will be some properties which are not available due to camera limitations or because they are not suitable to show the user.

Host Shutter

The ability the order shutter release from Capture One. Host shutter should not initiate auto focus on the camera.

Auto Focus

The AF button in Capture One.

It should work a bit differently depending on the camera setting.

Manual Focus

Should be disabled.

Continuous Auto Focus

The same behaviour as the camera when half pressing and it should stay enabled after host shutter release.

Other Auto Focus settings

Should start when the AF button I pressed and to 1 AF attempt. On host shutter, the AF button should be disabled again.

Focus Nudge

Allows you to move focus from Capture One with the small arrows in the focus tool. Should only be enabled in Manual Focus. 

Basic Live View

Being able to start and stop Live View. Images should be displayed with a reasonable frame rate. For Leica the Frames per second is at least 15 when the camera is not busy doing something else, such as shutter release or uploading an image to Capture One.

Zoom and Pan

Full zoom and pan, the normal Capture One way.

Zoom and Pan for SL-series (Marked with *)

Zoom and pan is currently not supported.

Limitations: Not showing full window feed in Capture One while zooming. Pan only possible using the on-camera controls and not from within Capture One.

Using the Zoom button in LV on the SL-series camera, what you see on the back-display of the camera is also showed in the Live View window in Capture One. Position of the crop is dictated by where the focus-point is on the camera, and can be changed using the controls on the camera. Taking a picture in this mode will return the feed to the full image.
