FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The camera determines the necessary flash intensity by firing one
or more pre-flashes before taking the actual picture. The main flash
fires immediately after, i.e. during exposure
COMPATIBLE FLASH UNITS
The following flash units offer a TTL flash metering function and –
depending on the model – a varying number of the functions
described in this manual:
– Leica system flash units like the SF 40 and SF 60
– Other commercially available flash units with a standard flash
foot and positive center contact
1
(fired via the center/X
contact).
– Studio flash units (fired via synchronization cable)

Activate the Flash setting if you will be using flash units that are not directly
compatible with the camera and will therefore not automatically adjust the white
balance of the camera.
ATTACHING THE FLASH UNIT
▸ Switch off the camera and flash unit
▸ Pull off the accessory shoe cover and store it in a safe place
▸ Slide the foot of the flash unit all the way into the accessory
shoe and use the clamping nut (where available) to secure it
against accidental movement
• Movement inside the accessory shoe can interrupt required
contacts and therefore cause malfunctions.
DETACHING THE FLASH UNIT
▸ Switch off the camera and flash unit
▸ Detaching the flash unit
▸ Replace the accessory shoe cover
Note
• The accessory shoe cover should always be attached when no
accessory is used.
