BASIC PICTURE SETTINGS

TURNING LENS TYPE IDENTIFICATION ON/OFF

The 6-bit coding in the bayonet (1.11) of the latest

Leica M lenses enables the Leica M Monochrom

– to detect the type of lens attached using the sensor

in its bayonet (1.10).

– Among other things, this information is used to

optimize the picture data. Thus edge darkening which

can be particularly noticeable with wide-angle lenses

and large apertures can be compensated in the

corresponding picture data.

– The lens data is also used to control flash lighting

and the flash reflector (see “Compatible flash units”,

p. 130).

– In addition, the information provided by this 6-bit

coding is written to the relevant EXIF file for the

picture. With the picture data in the

INFO display (see

p. 141), the lens focal length is also displayed (3.3.7

b, see p. 96).

Note:

When using lenses without 6-bit coding, the identifi-

cation function must be deactivated to prevent mal-

functions, or the lens type used must be entered

manually (see p. 114).

SETTING THE FUNCTION

1. In the main menu (see S. 97/110), select

Lens

Detection

(4.1.1), and

2. the desired option in the sub-menu:

–

Off, or

–

Auto, if a coded lens

is attached, or

–

Manual if a non-coded lens

is attached.

MANUAL LENS TYPE /FOCAL LENGTH ENTRY

Earlier Leica M lenses are not detected by the camera

body due to a lack of identification, but they can be

identified using the menu.

3. Select the lens you are using from the list in the

Manual sub-menu.

• The monitor (1.32) shows a list of lenses, which

also includes the relevant item numbers to ensure

clear identification.

Notes:

• On many lenses, the item number is engraved on the

reverse side of the depth of field scale.

• The list contains lenses that were available without

coding (prior to around June 2006). Lenses

introduced more recently are only available with

coding and therefore cannot be selected manually.

• When using the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4

ASPH., the set focal length is not transferred to the

camera and thus is not included in the EXIF data for

pictures. If required, you can enter the relevant focal

length manually.

• By contrast, the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm

f/4 ASPH. features mechanical transfer of the set

focal length to the camera, necessary to display the

appropriate bright line frame in the viewfinder. It is

detected by the camera electronics and used for focal

length specific compensation. However, only one item

number - 11 625 - is listed in the menu for reasons of

space. Of course, the other two versions - 11 890 and

11 894 - can be used and the settings made in the

menu also apply to them.
