(LINKS BELOW): Here is my comprehensive guide to setting up and using the @LeicaCameraUSA Q2. I'll run through the controls, menus, and describe how to use the function buttons, favorites menu and profiles to dial this camera in for your way of shooting. Yeah, I know the Q3 is launching this week, but there are plenty of Q2 shooters out there and some of them have been bugging me to do this. I'm going to have one of the first Q3s and I'll do a comparison video as well as a full setup video for that camera too when it arrives.
