FLASH RANGE
The usable flash range depends on the aperture and sensitivity
values set manually or calculated by the camera. It is important to
ensure that the subject is within the relevant flash range for suffi-
cient illumination.
SYNCHRONIZATION TIME POINT
Flash photographs are always illuminated by two light sources:
ambient light and the light from the flash. The time at which the
flash is fired determines where the subject elements illuminated
exclusively or predominantly by the flash are shown in the image.
The conventional flash firing point at the start of the exposure
–
Start of Exp. – may cause apparent contradictions, e.g. a vehicle
“overtaken” by the light trail from its own tail lights. Your LeicaCL
allows you to choose between this conventional flash firing point
and the end of the exposure –
End of Exp.:
▸ Select
Flash Settings in the Main Menu (2nd screen page)
▸ Select
Flash Sync in the submenu
▸ Select the desired setting
In the second option, the light trail from the tail lights will then
follow the vehicle as expected. This flash technique gives a more
natural impression of movement and dynamics.
Note
When using the flash with faster shutter speeds, there will be
hardly any or only a minor difference in fast movements in the
image between the two flash firing points.
FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
This function can be used to selectively reduce or strengthen the
flash exposure regardless of the exposure from available light, e.g.
in a picture taken in the evening or to brighten the face of a person
in the foreground while retaining the same lighting ambiance.
▸ Select
Flash Settings in the Main Menu (2nd screen page)
▸ Select
Flash Exp. Compensation in the submenu
▸ Select the desired setting
Notes
• Flash exposure compensation changes the range of the flash
unit.
• Once set, compensation remains active even after any number
of pictures and even after turning off the camera, until it is reset
to ±
0 (= center of scale).
• A compensation value previously set via menu control may be-
come void once a relevantly equipped flash unit is attached to
the camera, e.g. a Leica SF 64., and a compensation value is
entered in that flash unit.
