Leica M11 PDF User Manual

Did you lose or misplace the instruction manual that came with your Leica M11 (Typ 2416)? It happens all too easily, but fortunately Leica makes a soft copy available that you can browse through online, print out, or download (see the pdf file below). It is certainly good practice to carefully familiarize oneself with the many different functionalities and options that the M11 offers, and the official user manual is without doubt an authoritative and comprehensive source of respective information.

That said, the instruction booklet can be a dry read, so that a dedicated camera guide book from a professional photographer that illustrates the camera's core functions in a real life photography context can be a very helpful complement. Yes, getting one of these camera guides (see here at amazon) would involve an additional expense, but if that book helps to exploit the camera's potential to the full, the (small) additional investment may well be worth it.

Also, you might want to check out the video tutorial on the Leica M11 (Typ 2416) below.

In any case, the M11 is an advanced imaging tool, whose many features merit serious attention. This rangefinder-focusing mirrorless camera was revealed to the public on January 13th, 2022, which means that, as of today, the camera is 834 days old (young?). Given that the M11 is a relatively recent model, it forms part of the current Leica product line-up.
