The color reproduction balances accuracy and saturation very well, and the sensor’s wide dynamic range means plenty of exposure latitude when shooting in RAW so, if the centre-weighted metering does underexpose, it’s easily corrected post-camera. As expected with 40MP resolution on tap, images have plenty of detailing and definition along with smooth tonal gradations. The double-image rangefinder focusing is easy to use and very precise too, but it’ll be a culture shock for anybody who has only ever relied on autofocusing before. In terms of performance, some of it is entirely in your hands as the focusing is manual and the exposure control is based on centre-weighted average metering, which can be tricky in contrasty lighting situations. There’s also a real-time histogram, both highlight and shadow warnings (each adjustable for the lower and upper thresholds), a grid guide (either 3x3 or 6x4) and manual focusing aids, namely a magnified view based on a moveable target and a focus peaking display. The live view display also provides a dual-axis level indicator. Obviously, the monitor screen becomes the viewfinder, but there are also some extra capabilities, most notably a choice of exposure metering patterns – multi-zone, centre-weighted average and spot – as measurement is now via the imaging sensor.
However, the M10-R does have a bit of a digital alter-ego, accessed by switching to live view operation.
