Workshop
NEW TO YOUR LEICA CAMERA
Organised by Leica Camera Ltd.
Open to all new Leica Camera owners, this workshop aims to equip you with the knowledge to get the absolute best out of your new camera so you can focus more on taking great pictures.

Following this you will be given a tailored introduction to understanding your cameras menu system helping you understand some of the hidden features and how to set your camera up perfectly for the pictures you want to take.
