About: Join Los Angeles based photographer Joey Carman, Leica Product Specialist Ray Olson, and Leica Akademie Instructor Philip Cuenco as they guide you through the process of using your SL2 at an intermediate/advanced level.  This is Part 2 of a 3 Part Series featuring the SL2 system.  This intermediate/advanced paced course will take owners into deeper discussion of the SL2 and using it in various shooting environments.

The workshop will take users deeper into their SL2, getting the most out of the system to their needs.   This workshop is designed for professionals or power users who have not quite fully adapted to fully using their Leica SL2.  Carman will be introducing students to the Leica SF-60 & SF-C1 flash system as well using single and multiple wireless flash units.  The workshop will also be taking a tour into the use of Capture One 21 and it’s tehtering capabilities with the SL2.

Topics Covered

• Deep diving into customizing user profiles & function buttons
• Tethering the SL2 into Capture One 21 & basic intro into Capture One interface.
• Tethering the SL2 into Adobe Lightroom
• Focusing using M/R lenses & advanced focusing features (tracking)
• Demonstration & lecture using the camera in different photographic situations
• Introduction to using the SF 60 & SF C1 Commander & Remote Flash System
• Adapting to the Leica SL2 from another system

Who should take this workshop?
Current SL2 Owners intermediate to advanced levels and anyone interested in learning the SL2  with components beyond the camera system, will benefit from this program.  This class will benefit both professionals and Leica SL enthusiasts who have acquired an SL2, and in transition trying to “cross over” from their previous or current camera system.  Joey’s personal journey & workflow from switching to the SL family in his professional workflow will help others who may be in the same position he was in when he first started with his SL.

New owners of the SF-60 & SF-C1 system will also benefit from the workshop as Joey will be discussing ways to modify and optimize the lights for various uses and setups.

Requirements/pre-requisites:  This is an intermediate/advanced paced course.  Students must have a solid understanding of photographic terminology & dialogue, fundamentals & the ability to demonstrate navigating through the SL2 system confidently on their own.  We recommend attending the SL2 Owners (Part 1) course if you are new to the SL and professional camera systems in general . 

Students must have ZOOM installed and running properly on their computer before the class day.  Installation & operation videos are available online through the zoom website. 

Having an SF-60 & SF-C1 not required, but it may help if you have questions regarding your flash unit.

Part 3 of the series, coming later this year, will be focused on the “video” segment of the SL2 and newest member of the SL family, the SL2-S.
