[Leica] [OM] IMG: Today's Catch

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Nathan.  I'm not sure I want to stay with this method, because I 
like to see the colors in the VF.  If you would like to try it, go into 
the menu and find film simulation and select Acros.  This will give you 
a B&W view in the VF.  Then go to AF MF, page 2, and select MF Assist, 
Peak, Focus Peak Highlight, Red.  I set the highlight to High, Steve 
uses Low.  In Lightroom, the imported images first show up in BW, but 
when they are selected for final import as dng, they convert to color.
