[Leica] Q3 stop-down view

[Aram Langhans]

I was about to write this: "Yes this is correct for the Q3.  I think the 
Q and Q2 could preview DOF in AF mode by half pressing down the shutter 
release if I remember from my Q2." because that is what I just read on 
the Leica Forum, but then I went and grabbed my Q3 and put it in AF 
mode, pointed it at me and pressed the shutter half down and 
behold.....  Stop down DOF preview.  So, at least with the latest 
firmware installed, when you press the shutter release half way the lens 
does stop down in AF mode.
