Synchronization time point
Flash photographs are always illuminated by two light sources, the
available light and the light from the flash. The time at which the
flash is fired normally determines where the parts of the subject
illuminated exclusively or predominantly by the flash are shown in
the frame.
The conventional flash firing point at the beginning of the exposure
can lead to apparent contradictions, e.g. a vehicle being “over-
taken” by the light trail from its own tail lights.
Your Leica TL2 allows you to choose between this conventional
flash firing point and the end of the exposure:
► In the main menu, select
► Select the required setting in
In the example cited, the light trail from the tail lights then follows
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, in terms of the
image there is no difference, or only a difference for rapid move-
ments 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, to lighten the face of a person in
the foreground while retaining the lighting atmosphere.
► In the main menu, select
► Select
► In the submenu, make the desired setting on the scale using
or one of the setting dials
► Touch
SET to confirm
• If a compensation is set, this is indicated by
in the monitor.
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).
• Compensation values set in the camera’s menu system are not
effective as soon as one is set on an attached and accordingly
featured flash unit such as the Leica SF64.
