turned on and ready to use:
A shutter speed faster than 1/50s is manually

to the "High speed synchronised flash” func-
tion. In such cases, the LEICA M7 does not
trigger the flash unit even if it is turned on and
ready to use.
Note: High speed synchronised flash is only pos-
sible in the flash unit’s manual mode, not for com-
puter or TTL mode.
•  flashes slowly (at 2 Hz) before the shutter is
released:
The flash unit is not operational yet.
•  lights up continuously before the exposure:
The flash unit is operational.
