Technical data

109
The TTL-controlled flash exposure metering and
control can be used with both exposure modes.
Important!
In order to trigger and control the flash units
connected by means of the accessory shoe or the
coaxial contact (23), the LEICA M7 must be
loaded with batteries and the exposure meter
must be switched on by lightly pressing the shut-
ter release button, i.e. the display must have been
switched to shutter speed values or the light
balance.
Compatible flash units
Thanks to its compact dimensions and its dedicat-
ed design, the LEICA SF20/SF 24D is particularly
suitable for use with the LEICA M7. It is very sim-
ple to use, as it is equipped with an integrated ad-
apter foot with additional control and signal
contacts for automatic transfer of a range of data
and settings. It also provides a number of inter-
esting additional functions.
You can also fit any other standard flash units with
standard connecting plugs or on-camera flash
units with standard adapter foot to the
LEICA M7, and trigger them using the center
contact (X contact, 13). We recommend the use of
modern thyristor-controlled electronic flash units.
