Exposure metering Through-the-lens (TTL) metering, with variable aperture, center-weighted TTL metering for flash exposure with
system-compliant SCA-3000/2 standard flash units.
Metering principle/
method
By metering the light reflected by light blades of the 1st shutter curtain onto a measuring cell: strong center-weighted;
for metering on the sensor: spot, center-weighted, multi-field metering.
Metering range (to ISO 320, room temperature and normal relative humidity:) EV 0 (with aperture 1.0) to EV 20 (with aperture 32).
Flashing of the left-hand triangular LED in the viewfinder signals that the exposure meter reading is below the working range.
Sensitivity range ISO 320 to ISO 25000, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments, choice of automatic control or manual setting.
Exposure mode Choice of automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection – aperture priority A,
or manual shutter speed and aperture setting.
Flash exposure
control
Flash unit attachment Using accessory shoe with center and control contacts or using SCA adapter set.
Synchronization Optionally triggered at the 1st or 2nd shutter curtain.
Flash sync speed = 1/180 s; slower shutter speeds can be used, if working below sync speed: automatic changeover to TTL linear
flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units.
Flash exposure
metering
(with SCA-3502-M5 adapter or SCA-3000 standard flash unit, e.g. Leica SF 26)
Control with center-weighted TTL pre-flash metering.
Flash measurement cell Two silicon photodiodes with collection lens on the camera base.
Flash exposure
correction
± 3 1/3 EV, adjustable in 1/3 EV steps via the menu, and when using correspondingly equipped Leica system
flash units.
Displays in flash mode Ready: constant illumination of flash symbol LED in viewfinder only.
Viewfinder
Viewfinder principle Large, bright, combined bright-line viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation.
