Leica M type 240- video review.(Non of the written here is relevant to the photo section of this camera)
Deep into the 4th year of the HDSLR revolution Leica released the M 240, their full frame camera costing $6950.
Spending a day with the camera left me wondering, was Leica ever talking to any professional cameraman before implementing HD recording for this unit or just decided to “join a trend” without really meaning this camera to be a capable working video tool?.
In my opinion the video quality coming out of the camera is very disappointing and its operation in video mode is not easy/logical. I hope features/video quality can be enhance with a firmware update.
Let me start gentle and highlight the camera’s strengths:
Weaknesses:
Camera settings for this short test feature:
ISO: 800 indoor, outdoor 200 (native)White balance set to Kelvin values1080@25fps
Picture profile: “Film Mode off” (for the entire video but sec 2:01–2:12 when I used smooth color film)Contrast: LowSaturation: LowSharpness: Off
Firmware version 1.1.0.2
NO color correction / sharpness applied.
