Exposure control
Exposure metering Open aperture metering through the lens (TTL)
Metering methods Spot (3.5%), center-weighted, multi-field (5 fields)
Metered value storage By pressing the shutter button to the pres-
sure point, storage for 1 picture of permanently with Joystick
Exposure compensation ±3EV (exposure values), can be set in half
steps
Automatic bracketing Optionally 3 or 5 pictures, optionally
1EV, 2EV, 3EV deviation between the individual pictures, depending on
the set operating mode, change of the exposures via aperture and/or
shutter speed
Metering range (with aperture 2.5 and ISO100), spot metering: EV2.7
- 20, center-weighted and multi-field metering: EV1.2 - 20, Warning
display in the viewfinder for values above and below the metering range
Measuring cell for prevailing light Multi-field photo diode (permanent light
metering)
Sensitivities ISO100, ISO200, ISO400, ISO800, ISO1600,
ISO 3200, ISO6400, ISO 12500, Automatic
Exposure operating modes Automatic program with shift function
( ), aperture priority ( ), shutter speed priority ( ), manual setting ( )
Flash exposure control
Flash unit connections Accessory shoe with center and control
contacts, LEMO ® or standard flash connection socket without control of
the light yield

Flash metering cell Multi-field photo diode
Flash exposure metering / control (with system-compatible Leica
flash units attached to the camera) Control by flash unit with TTL
pre-flash metering, with automatic transfer and allowance for sensitivity
and set/controlled lens aperture, all exposure modes can be used,
automatic matching of the flash light component to the ambient light
Linear flash mode (with system-compatible, appropriately configured
Leica flash units, linear flash mode with TTL pre-flash metering and
automatic TTL-HSS control) For flash photography with faster shutter
speeds than the sync speed by firing several flashes in quick succession,
automatic changeover to HSS flash mode if shutter speed is below sync
speed
