Mastering Your Leica Q: Functions, Features & Photography Training

This workshop is tailored for Leica Q2, Q3, Q-P, Q Monochrom, and Q3 43 owners who seek in-depth coaching on both their photography skills and technical understanding of their camera. The session begins with an intensive 2-hour technical deep dive, where you will learn every function of your camera—from exposure settings to focus modes and image styles. Following this, you will head out for a 4-hour hands-on photography experience, applying your newly acquired skills in real-world scenarios.
