Recording mode
Notes:
• Depending on the exposure mode, the graduations are produced
by changing the shutter speed (
T/M) or the aperture (A), or both (P).
• The sequence of the pictures is: underexposure/correct
exposure/overexposure.
• Depending on the available shutter speed/aperture
combination, the working range of the automatic bracketing
function may be limited.
• The bracketing function remains active until it is reset to
±0, i.e.
even after any number of pictures and even after turning off the
camera.
• If an exposure compensation is set at the same time, the
starting point of the bracketing series is 'off set' by the
compensation value.
• Bracketing is not available if an Interval series is set (see p. 238).
• This menu item can be assigned to one of the soft keys for direct
access, and also to the
FAVORITES menu.
FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The camera determines the necessary fl ash power by fi ring one or
more ranging fl ashes, fractions of a second before taking the
actual picture. Immediately after this, at the start of exposure, the
main fl ash is fi red. All factors that infl uence the exposure (such as
fi lters and changes to the aperture setting) are automatically taken
into account.
Compatible fl ash units
The following fl ash units can be used with the camera. They
facilitate TTL fl ash metering and, depending on the confi guration, a
varying number of the functions described in these instructions.
• The Leica SF 26 system fl ash unit. It is extremely easy to
operate.
• Other Leica system fl ash units, with the exception of the Leica SF 20.
Other commercially available attachable fl ash units with standard
fl ash foot and positive center contact
1
, and fi red by the center
contact (X contact) can also be used. We recommend the use of
modern thyristor-controlled electronic fl ash units.

If fl ash units not specially designed for the camera are used and
do not automatically adjust the white balance on the camera, the
Flash setting should be used (see p. 198).
