Synchronisation on the 2nd shutter curtain

If the attached flash unit has the corresponding

function and an SCA-3502 adapter is being used,

the LEICA M7 allows the flash to be triggered on

either the 1st or the 2nd shutter curtain. This

makes it possible to have the – very short – flash

exposure either at the beginning or the end of the

– relatively longer – exposure with the available

light.

Particularly with subjects in dark surroundings,

which themselves emit or reflect light, e.g.

vehicles, synchronisation with the 2nd shutter

curtain often gives a more natural effect.

The function is available for all camera and flash

unit settings, for both aperture priority mode and

manual shutter speed selection, for TTL and

automatic or manual flash mode, the displays are

the same in all cases.
