There is no connection from the M digi cameras to the aperture dial/ring on the lens. None. So as much as the exif data says something, it just is not true. Same aperture, same as what you manually set. Note that the shutter speed is the same for both images. The camera will properly record the shutter speed.The aperture is a guesstimate. M8-M10 all the same. Suspect this is a bug in the FW. The resultant picture is really quite good in its ability to straighten the distortion created by having the lens tilted up ( a bit). Very impressive indeed. But, for this image, the basic image plus LR (or other) would have allowed the result to be absolutely square.. Apparently the camera selected the near vertical edge of the house and made that absolutely vertical. But the far corner is not. Using the distortion control in LR, you could properly square up the 2 corners..... IOW, good for some things, bad if you are depending on this for serious architecture. Leica has been talking about computational photography. This is the first implementation I have seen in a real product.
