Synchronisation on the 2nd shutter curtain
If the attached flash unit has the corresponding
function and an SCA-3502 adapter is being used,
the LEICA M7 allows the flash to be triggered on
either the 1st or the 2nd shutter curtain. This
makes it possible to have the – very short – flash
exposure either at the beginning or the end of the
– relatively longer – exposure with the available
light.
Particularly with subjects in dark surroundings,
which themselves emit or reflect light, e.g.
vehicles, synchronisation with the 2nd shutter
curtain often gives a more natural effect.
The function is available for all camera and flash
unit settings, for both aperture priority mode and
manual shutter speed selection, for TTL and
automatic or manual flash mode, the displays are
the same in all cases.
