SHUTTER SPEED DIAL
The exposure modes are selected using the shutter speed dial (19),
– aperture priority mode by setting the
A position marked red (see
p. 183),
– manual mode by selecting a shutter speed of
1
/
4000
s to 8s
(intermediate values in ½ step positions are also available);
– the shortest possible sync speed of
1
/
180
s for fl ash mode,
marked with the
symbol (see p. 193), and
–
B for long exposures (see p. 190).
The Leica M shutter speed dial has no stop, i.e. it can be turned in
either direction from any position. It detents at all marked positions
and at the intermediate values. Values between the detent
positions cannot be used. More details on setting the correct
exposure can be found in the sections p. 182.
