I just watched this again for the third time. This is the best tutorial on the Q3 out there. Someday, I will understand my Q3s as well as you, Hudson! One small request...I wish you spoke a little slower - you give so much information all at once that I found myself having to rewind often.
Thank you so so much. I just got my Leica Q3 43 and I used this tutorial to customize it. I very much appreciate all the hard work that you did for us.
I cannot thank you enough for this in-depth video on the menu system and settings for the Q3! I just purchased a Q3, and as a Sony shooter, the menu system and capabilities of this camera are completely foreign to me. Today, I had some quiet time and sat with my camera and watched your tutorial, which I was able to stop, start, and "rewind" as needed. I have bookmarked this video for future reference. Cannot wait to have a day out with my new camera. I have given this video a big thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. Many thanks!
As a presenter, you’re very down to earth and informative. Thanks. This video is simply brilliant in explaining this camera. I went into,a Leica store last Saturday to look (not buy yet), the Q3 43. Unfamiliar with the custom buttons settings and options per button is genius which I only found out through you. This means you can make the camera as simple or complex as you want. Having had an M9 many years back which was basic but beautiful, the Q3 is adaptable to your needs. Finally, Fuji has film simulations as profiles in Lightroom when you import a Fuji dng file. I’m surprised Leica hasn’t done this, but hope it will bring this in soon. 👍😊👍
Hudson - Thanks for all of this. You've greatly helped my shooting in the past few years (been a photographer for 25+ yrs now). I was on the fence about the Leica but its time to retire some of my point and shoot cameras that have served me very well over the past 12 years. The Q3 will add another dimension to my photography and will always go with my on my travels even though I'll still carry the Z9/Z8. We're headed off to New Zealand for 27 days in a few weeks and cannot wait to shoot with the Q. Maybe one day we'll cross paths, I'd love to share some of my photos that I've taken over the past 14 years - Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda, Angkor Wat, Antarctica, and Vietnam to mention a few. Again, thanks!
This deep dive helped me so much. I watched a German and an Australian Q3 deep dive before this one, while this one is not as technical, I am grateful to how practical this was and by far got the most out of this review. Thanks again!
I was finally able to get a Q3 after months of waiting and have watched your Q3 videos, taken notes, and installed your presets. Thanks so much for the presets! They are awesome and have really helped me short cut the process. I have also purchased a few of your recommended accessories through your links and am looking forward to more time with the Q3. Thanks again for the great videos and your generosity in sharing your knowledge!
Thanks, Hudson. This tutorial has really helped me understand and fall in love with this camera that I made such an investment in. I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu when I took delivery of this incredible tool. I have had 2 small sensor Leicas and they all have the very distinctive Leica look, that nobody seems to understand unless they have owned one. On a side note: I spent every summer with my Grandparents who lived on Nye Beach in Newport, OR. Yaquina=YAKWINA, and Heceta=HECKATUH. Sorry. I was a teacher.
So glad you're enjoying the camera. It's amazing and I'm glad to help. As a 4th generation Oregonian who loves the coast and kitesurfs and photgraghs all up and down it, I've never once heard your way of pronouncing Heceta. The prior lawyer in me had to look that up... The Oregon Historical Society says "I have no doubt that oldtimers in the vicinity of Yachats and Florence still call the place Heketa, but elsewhere in Oregon the style Heseta is much more generally used. The influence of schools and newspapers has been in this direction and away from Heketa.” I generally pronounce Yaquina (Ya-kwi-nah) pretty close to yours and ubiquitous here. I'll have to recheck my vid. Maybe I slurred it. :) You taught me one thing there. Locals used to pronounce Heceta in a way I've never heard. I'm pretty sure I remember my great grandfather pronouncing Heceta (Ha-seta) . He homesteaded in Grant's Pass and lived a very long life. :)
Hudson, thank you for your guide as I found it both practical and real world. I know making such a video is not the most exciting project for you but you are a natural teacher. Installing your still/video presets is a time saver and a good starting point which I can tweak as I gain experience with my new Q3. Again, thanks!
Just got my Q3 and this video was a great help in getting set up. The previous Nikon set up up videos for my Z Eries helped understand the basics. You are awesome if no one has told you!!
Incredible video as always. It was nice to see everything on one video. This really helps the new user of a Q3 to get the entire training at one time and even download profiles.
I’m picking up my Q3 next week (have had both the Q and Q2). Your guides are by far the most useful and practical of anything I have ever found. Also appreciate your guides on the Z9. Thanks for sharing your settings.
Hudson, again a wonderful learning video. Two things I have run across. The User Profiles revert to default every time the camera turns off. Also, I have found that 25,000 ISO is no problem for the sensor or for LrC with Denoise. Have a great day. Alan
In order to retain the User Profile for when the camera is next switched-on, go into menu 4 / User Profile and scroll down and click the cursor centre button on the profile you wish to make 'Active'. To my surprise, the customisable buttons are also attached to an individual profile, so by changing profile you might find that the buttons behave differently. Firmware v2.0.1
Hi Hudson. Hope all is well. Got the Q3 when it was released (after our Cuba trip) and love it. It’s now my do everything camera when I’m not going to bring my heavy gear, lenses etc. This was an awesome and comprehensive review. Thanks for making the effort. I tweaked some things after this video, and found it all very helpful. Stay well. Steve
Just leaving Moab. We were talking about you yesterday and how much fun we had with you in Cuba. I'm using the Q3 a ton these days even in wild landscapes.
Hey Hudson, just imported your settings file and planning to follow along your video with them already set. Around the 3:47 mark you talk about function 1 being ISO and function 2 being for back button focusing. After loading your settings, Fn1 triggers ISO but Fn2 is gridlines for the digital crop. Did you change your setup since this video? I tried a couple of your profiles and seems consistent on both. Thx!
@@michaelcibula9552 there's a bug in the last several firmware versions. Read the whole web page where you clicked to download the profile. It's explained there with instructions for how to reprogram fn2. The profiles import doesn't set the fumction for fn2. It remains stock (switch to video), but it does limit the fn2 options as desired, which don't even include video. You have to fix it for each user profile 1-6. My website's Q3 download page shows how.
Hey Hudson, got it all working. Funny, when you actually watch the entire video and read the instructions on your website how much smoother things go :). This video and your other on the firmware bug are SO helpful. Thank you for taking the time to go through all of this with us. I learned so much and am incredibly grateful.
Thank you so much for this comprehensive and understandable video! It has helped me a great deal. I have a flash question. I mainly shoot with available light. With the Q3 I would like to get a shoe mount flash that I can use for 1. Fill flash outdoors such as on a sunny day to fill in the shadows on peoples faces or under their hats and 2. To use indoors for family pix at holidays, etc.. What flash would you suggest? Thanks again!
My favorite flashes these days are from Godox. They make a plethora to choose from and they are all well made and simple to use. amzn.to/3YlTzKW They may not name Leica specifically, but they will work.
Hi Hudson, this phenomenally generous of you to put together this amazingly comprehensive set up. One question would you have a pdf version of your presets ? I know this is a bit too much to ask. Cheers Adnan
Thanks a lot for this comprehensive guide!! So much better that reading the instructions manual 😅 Do you know by any chance if there is a way of maintaining different default settings for photo and video? So for example, that every time I switch to video mode my ss is 1/50 and when I switch to photo it's 1/250? Thanks again!!
Hudson, GREAT video but one bug or user error on my part - Function 2 always seems to default to VIDEO even though I downloaded your settings. Any ideals?
Read the instructions on the webpage where you downloaded it. It's a bug in the last 2 firmware updates. Leica knows. They called me to talk about it and admitted it is a bug after testing it, but have yet to fix it. The user fix is to go into each of the profiles, long press fn 2, slect AFL from the list and then go into the profile menu and overwrite that particular profile. For some reason the camera won't lock that in from a profile upload anymore. :-( Only that buttton thankfully, but you have to do that for each and every one of your presets. Again instructions are on my dowload webpage.
Hi Henry, Thank you very much for your detailed video about setting up Q3 with all user profiles. On the LS&PANO, I still don't know how to get the grid on the LCD display as you instructed. I could not find any buttons to turn it on when I went through all the menus. I am missing something very obvious. Please tell me. I definitely watch your Panaramic video tutorial. Thanks. 🙏
got a brand new q43 couple days ago. downloaded your custom profile settings and tried to install them --> doesn't work. followed along the given instructions on your download page. always get the message: import failed. any suggestions how to fix the problem?
Hi Hudson, so I did it and I now have the Q3 (28). Loving it already. Great setup video as usual. Have you experienced any issues with the copyright info not saving from profile to profile? Or save at all? Seems the All rights reserved under information keeps, but artist does not save? Maybe another bug for Leica? Otherwise all other setting are great. Thanks again for doing these. Saves a lot of time getting setup and familiar with all the menu options and features. BY THE WAY- selling my Z9 if you know anyone interested. UPDATE- Seems you have to save it for each profile before you leave the profile.
It totally depends on the lens and camera. With auto area and subject detection, I've seen some insane work at wide aperture on the latest bodies from no look shots. With a camera like the Q3, I often use F11 and hyper focal distance manual focus. :)
Exposure bracketing - assigned to function 2 button. I set it for 5 frames, 1 EV steps, no exposure compensation. If I push the function 2 button to activate bracketing shots, shoot the series, and then turn the bracketing off to go back to regular/single shots, it shoots everything going forward 2 stops underexposed.
First I'd urge you to consider 3 frames 3 stops apart. These modern sensors have around 14 stops of dynamic range. There's plenty of dynamic overlap for 3 stops in the gap. I haven't bracketed by a single stop in many years. With three frames 3 stops apart you'll get a wider dynamic range capture in less frames that can be blended smoothly with ease. On the underexposure issue, I'm scratching my head. Mine has certainly never done that. Is it somehow turning on exposure compensation despite not activating that setting in bracketing? Super weird. Might hit Leica up about it. Certainly not something I've seen.
I'll try your recommendation on the 3 frames, 3 apart. Thanks! My bigger concern is why bracketing exposure, with no compensation set, makes my camera default to -2EV for all shots when going back to normal shooting. It does this no matter whether I choose to bracket originally from an assigned function button, or go to it in the regular menu system. After I take my first single shot, it looks normal on the screen, but when I play the image back it is dark and shows -2EV. I was just wondering if anyone else could replicate the issue. I'll message Leica. I've never had a Leica. I have pretty much always shot Nikon. I was hoping it was a "duh" issue and just something dumb I was doing.
Go into your default profile (that's factory default and unchangeable) then try bracketing and see if it's doing it still. That could eliminate some odd setting we haven't considered. Also email me the result at hi@hudsonhenry.com I often lose responses to RUclips comments once I've replied. :)
@@betheckstein5116 I've just tried an experiment and have not experienced the problem you are having. As a note, my exposure compensation in Menu 1 is set to 0 EV and is the same in Exposure Bracketing. Firmware v2.0.1
Thanks for this effort! Can the jpegs be as good as DNG straight out of Q3? I tried and tried. Just can't get any Jpegs to look even close to the DNGs.
Edit: I managed to import them successfully now. Just downloaded the file into a new folder on the computer and moved it to the SD card once again, and boom! Hey Hudson, I was trying to upload your user profiles but my Q3 says no (Import Failed). Got the latest firmware v2.05 and downloaded your latest settings-xrga.lcs file directly into the root of my SD Card. But still no luck importing them. I successfully imported your profiles with the previous firmware though.
Okay, I tried the Q3... but it's not for me. What I want when I photograph is to compose my picture at capture, not by cropping afterwards. So I need a compact with Zoom AND excellent lens quality (as good as the sum micron 28mm f1,7 ??). What would you recommend?
I dont understand why experts do not use the thumb wheel center button for focus lock - it’s as natural as pressing the shutter button. Someone else I was watching did exactly what you did from Leica Australia.
It's simple. We've been back button autofocusing for decades with an AF-ON button located right where Fn2 sits. (Nikon, Sony, Canon, Fuji, etc). Muscle memory for every long time autofocus photographer, puts focus right there with the right thumb. We don't want focus to be anywhere near the shutter. Two seperate functions. One is index finger, the other is thumb.
Hudson so I downloaded the profile link loaded it to my sd card and tried to inport it for profiles but it keeps saying failed what am i doing wrong? I followed and went back and looked at the video still fail. help please
I have yet to release the profiles for the Q3 43. I will soon. The Q3 profiles I have for download are created for the 28 and while the cameras are near identical, they won't work in the 43. Stand by for a couple of weeks and I'll have the 43 profiels ready.
You go into the User profile menu (as I show), then Manage Profiles, then save profile and pick which of the six you want to store it in. I show the entire process in this very video...
