Compact 35mm rangefinder system camera with electronically controlled shutter plus

two mechanically controlled shutter speeds.

Leica M lenses with focal lengths from 21 to 135mm

Large, bright combined range- and viewfinder with bright-line frames and automatic

parallax compensation. Eyepiece corrected for -0.5 diopter. Correction lenses from ±3

diopters are available.

Bright-line frames are activated in pairs : 28 and 90mm (90mm by itself in the M7

0.85), 35 and 135mm (35mm by itself in the M7 0.58), and 50 and 75 mm. The respec-

tive bright-line frames are activated automatically when a lens is locked in place. Any

desired frame can be previewed by means of the preview lever.

Split-image and coincident-image rangefinder within a bright field in the center of the

viewfinder image.

M7 0.58: 40.2mm;

M7 0.72: 49.9mm;

M7 0.85: 58.9 mm

Selective through-the-lens (TTL) exposure metering at working aperture. Center-

weighted integral TTL metering for flash exposures with dedicated SCA 3000 standard

flash units.

Choice of automatic film speed setting with DX-coded film cartridges from ISO 25 to

ISO 5000 or manual setting from ISO 6 to ISO 25000. By means of the exposure over-

ride (± 2 EV), films with speeds ranging from ISO 1.5/3° to ISO 25000/45° can be used.

Choice of automatic control of the shutter speed – with corresponding viewfinder dis-

play – at a pre-selected f-stop (aperture-priority, or manual setting of shutter speed and

f-stop in accordance with the LED light balance in the viewfinder.

Synchronization: Can be triggered by the first or the second shutter curtain (with an

appropriate flash unit and a SCA-3502 Adapter). Flash synch speed: 1/50 second, set

automatically in the AUTO mode; slower shutter speeds can be used with manual set-

tings; faster shutter speeds (1/250, 1/500, 1/1000) can be used with manual settings if

the flash unit being used offers the “High Speed Synchronization” function with an

SCA-3502 Adapter. Flash exposure metering (with an SCA-3501/3502 Adapter, or a

standard SCA-3000 flash unit such as the LEICA SF20) TTL control with center-

weighted integral metering. Film speed range for TTL flash exposure metering ISO

12/12° to ISO 3200/36°. Displays when flash is being used: Readiness: The flash

symbol LED in the viewfinder remains lit. Flash confirmation : The LED remains lit or

it temporarily blinks rapidly after the exposure. Under-exposure is indicated by a

temporary extinction of the LED.

Shutter: Horizontally running, rubberized cloth focal plane shutter. Extremely quiet.

Controlled electronically, plus two mec

hanically-set shutter speeds : 1/60 s and 1/125 s.

Shutter speeds: stepless from 32 to 1/1000 in the ‘AUTO’ automatic shutter speed con-

trol mode. In the manual mode, from 4 to 1/1000 in full steps, plus ‘B’ for time expo-

sures of any length. Flash synch speed 1/50.

Shutter release: Three stages: energizing – metered exposure value storage – release.

Release button has an integrated thread for standard cable releases.

Advancing: Manually with quick wind lever or motorized using LEICA MOTOR-M.

Rewinding: Manually with rewind lever after turning the lever to “R” on the front of

the camera.

Frame counter: On the top of the camera. Resets automatically on removal of base plate.

All-metal body with foldable rear panel. Brass top plate and base plate, both chromium

plated in black or silver

6v power supply (2 lithium cells, type “DL 1/3 N”). Battery check shown by flashing of

the LEDs in the digital display or the light balance or by illumination of the display

“bc” or the LEDs going out.

DX Coding & On/Off Switch

◆ The M7 automatically sets the film speed,

or you can set the film speed manually. The

film speed is automatically displayed in the

viewfinder during the first two seconds

after the camera is switched on.

◆ The separate On/Off switch, for ergonomic

reasons, is positioned right next to the

shutter release button and serves to activate

the camera’s electronics. The OFF setting

blocks the shutter release.

Flash Sync and Second

Curtain Sync

With a sync time of up to 1/1000 second, the

M7 makes it easy to apply a properly bal-

anced fill-in flash in many daylight situations.

When you want your pictures to convey a

truly natural impression, like the impression

created by a time exposure with fill-in flash,

for instance, the M7 can be set to trigger the

flash with the second shutter curtain.
