Picture mode

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

The camera determines the necessary ﬂash power by ﬁring one or more

ranging ﬂashes, fractions of a second before taking the actual picture.

Immediately after this, at the start of exposure, the main ﬂash is ﬁred. All

factors that inﬂuence the exposure (such as picture ﬁlter and changes to

the aperture setting) are automatically taken into account.

COMPATIBLE FLASH UNITS

The following ﬂash units, when used on the camera, are capable of all the

functions described in this manual, including TTL ﬂash metering:

• The Leica SF 58 system ﬂash unit. With a maximum guide number of 58

(in 105mm setting), an automatically controlled zoom reﬂector (with

coded Leica M lenses, see p. 81), automatic synchronization with

shutter speeds faster than

180

s for HSS ﬂash (see p. 99), an optional

second reﬂector, and many other functions, it is both powerful and

versatile, yet highly user-friendly.

• With its compact dimensions and design that matches the camera, the

Leica SF 26 system ﬂash unit is the perfect solution. It is also extremely

easy to operate.

• Flash units which meet the technical requirements for System Camera

Adaption (SCA) System 3000 and ﬁtted with the SCA-3502-M5 adapter.

Other commercially available ﬂash attachments with standard ﬂash foot and

positive center contact, and ﬁred by the center contact (X contact) can also

be used.

ATTACHING THE FLASH UNIT

Before attaching a ﬂash unit to the accessory shoe on the camera,

– the cover that protects the accessory shoe when not in use, must be

detached to the rear, and

– the camera and ﬂash unit must be turned oﬀ.

When attaching a ﬂash unit, you should ensure that the foot of the ﬂash unit

is fully inserted into the accessory shoe and the clamping nut is tightened to

prevent it accidentally falling out. This is particularly important for ﬂash

units with additional control and signal contacts, because if the position in

the ﬂash shoe changes the necessary contacts can be broken, leading to

malfunctions.
