NEW Leica Q3 (Part 1) Tutorial | All you need to know

This video is Part 1 of my comprehensive tutorial on how to setup, customise and operate the new Leica Q3. I explain all essential settings of the camera, provide lots of live demonstrations and include lots of tips & tricks on how to best use the Leica Q3 for different workflows in photography.

Part 1 and Part 2 are on "still image" photography with the new Leica Q3, Part 3 will comprehensively explain all video functions of the Leica Q3.

Note: on some occasions, like @14:09, I say "the aperture is widest open at f/1.7" but in fact, since I was in macro mode, its only open as wide as f/2.8. The Leica Q3 in macro mode overrules the aperture setting on the lens and widest open in macro is f/2.8. Just for your information.
