USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH UNIT

Die Leica X has a built-in flash unit. When not in use, it is retracted
into the camera housing and turned off. To take pictures using the
flash it must be extended:
Press the release slider towards the center of the camera
The flash unit then pops up automatically into its working position and
is also turned on.
• The display for the set flash mode appears in white. If the flash unit
is not yet fully charged and therefore is not ready, it flashes in red
for a short time.

Whenever you want to take pictures without flash, leave it retracted or
press it down carefully until it clicks into place.
Notes:
• To determine the flash exposure a metering flash is fired immedi-
ately before taking the picture - and the main flash.
• Continuous series of pictures and automatic bracketing are not
possible when using flash. In such cases, even when the flash unit
is extended no flash display appears and the flash is not fired.
