Hi all,
I bought a X1 3 days ago and I am liking it A LOT. The IQ is out of this world.
I am using Leica's 36mm Viewfinder as I don't like composing on LCD and hope this will help me to save battery by not using the LCD at all.
Yesterday it was my first day using this setup and I was able to get 330 shots (DNG+S.Fine Jpgs), 30% than the reported official battery life. Not bad.
However, the only caveat that I had was focusing efficiently and accurately on on the subjects. I used the 1 AF Center point as I thought it would be easier to lock focusing and recomposing through the external viewfinder. When I got back home and check the pictures on my 24" screen, I noticed that several of my subjects where OOF to my surprise.
Does any of you guys uses an external finder with your X1? If so, is there any best practice or tip regarding focusing precisely you could share with me?
Thanks!
