Exposure control
Exposure meteringExposure metering
Open aperture measurement through the lens (TTL)
Metering methodsMetering methods
Spot (3.5%), center-weighted, multi-field metering (5 fields)
Metering memory lockMetering memory lock
Pressing the pressure point on the shutter button saves 1 picture or
continuously with the joystick
Exposure compensationExposure compensation
±3EV (exposure values), adjustable in half increments
Automatic bracketingAutomatic bracketing
3 or 5 pictures, optionally 1⁄2EV, 1EV, 2EV, 3EV deviation between
individual pictures, exposure can be changed through the aperture and/
or shutter speed depending on the selected operating mode
Measuring rangeMeasuring range
(with 2.5 aperture and ISO100), Spot metering: EV2.7 - 20, Center-
Weighted and Multi-Field metering: EV1.2 - 20, warning in viewfinder if
the measuring range of the measuring cell for the existing multi-field
photo diode light is exceeded or falls below the range (continuous light
measurements)
SensitivitySensitivity

Flash exposure control
Flash unit connectorsFlash unit connectors
Accessory shoe with central and control contacts, LEMO® or standard
flash jack without light output control
SynchronizationSynchronization
Flash sync time: 1⁄125s or 1⁄1000s for lenses with central shutter,
slower shutter speeds can be used, optionally at the start or end of the
exposure; Flash function with faster shutter speeds (1⁄180s – 1⁄4000s)
available with relevantly equipped flash units (HSS mode)
Flash measuring cellFlash measuring cell
Multi-field photo diode
Flash exposure metering/controlFlash exposure metering/control
(with system-compatible Leica flash units attached to the camera)
Controlled by the flash unit with TTL pre-flash metering, including
automatic transfer and consideration of the sensitivity and set/controlled
lens, all of the exposure modes can be used, automatic adjustment of the
flash light to the existing light
Linear flash modeLinear flash mode
(with system-compatible, appropriately equipped Leica flash units, linear
flash mode with TTL pre-flash metering and automatic TTL HSS control)
For flash photography with shorter shutter speeds than the sync speed by
firing several flashes in quick succession, automatic switch-over to HSS
flash mode if the sync speed is not achieved
Stroboscope flash modeStroboscope flash mode
(Taking pictures while recording video)
With exposure modes P and A including automatic adjustment of the
exposure time with system-compatible, relevantly equipped Leica flash
units
Flash exposure compensationFlash exposure compensation
Setting option in relevantly equipped flash units
