Note:
If you are taking photographs using the series
exposure function (see p. 83) or automatic exposure
bracketing (see p. 83), the last picture in the series is
shown first in both review modes. Details of how to
select the other pictures in the series and further
options in review mode are described in the sections
under “Review mode” starting on p. 96.
The shutter release buttons
There are a total of three shutter release buttons on
the camera and the Digital-Modul-R, which you can use
depending on the situation and/or your personal pref-
erence. All three – the camera’s and the two on the
Digital-Modul-R (1.29/30) – work in an identical way,
i.e. in three stages:
1. A brief tap activates the camera’s metering system
and starts any preset self timer delay time.
If the Digital-Modul-R was previously switched off,
this switches it on (see p. 81).
Notes:
• After switching on, the camera is ready to use after
approx. 3s.
• It may be necessary to cock the camera’s shutter
after switching on – either manually using the quick
wind lever or by pressing one of the shutter release
buttons again, see also “Switching on”, p. 81).
• The shutter release buttons are locked
a. if the internal buffer memory is (temporarily) full,
e.g. after a series of 10 pictures,
b. if the memory card inserted is full,
c. if no memory card is inserted, or
d. if a self timer delay time is set or is already run-
ning.
2. Pressing the shutter release button to the pressure
point and holding it in this position stores the
metered exposure value for selective or, on the
LEICA R9, center-weighted metering in
A
,
T
and
P
automatic exposure modes.
3. Completely depressing releases the camera and the
Digital-Modul-R, the picture is taken and the data is
transferred to the memory card.
Notes:
• A motor integrated into the Digital-Modul-R automat-
ically cocks the shutter after each picture. Alterna-
tively, for example to save battery capacity or avoid
noise, you can also do this manually using the cam-
era’s quick wind lever. If the quick wind lever is in the
ready position, i.e. folded out, the motorized drive is
deactivated.
• Menu control can be used to select button acknow-
ledgement tones (
Acoustic Signal
, 3.14, see p. 88).
• The shutter release should be pressed gently and not
jerkily to avoid blurring.
