Flash Range - Leica X Manual

Automatic flash activation with slower shutter speeds -
For simultaneous appropriate, i.e. brighter, reproduction of dark
backgrounds and fill-in flash for the foreground. To minimize the risk
of blurring, the shutter speed is not extended beyond
other modes with flash activation. For pictures where the flash is
used, this means that objects in the background, which the flash
cannot reach, are often badly under exposed.
To take adequate account of the available ambient light, the longer
exposure times required in such situations (up to 30s) are allowed
here.

Studio mode -
This mode is intended exclusively for wireless firing of additional flash
units, e.g. studio flash units equipped with a slave function. They are
fired optically by the camera flash. The function cannot be used for
normal flash photography.
Note:
To prevent blurred pictures with the slower shutter speeds in

rest it on something or use a tripod. Alternatively, you can select a
higher sensitivity.

FLASH RANGE

The available flash range depends on the aperture and sensitivity
values set manually or calculated by the camera. For sufficient
illumination by the flash light, it is crucial for the main subject to be
within the range of the flash. For details, refer to the technical data
on p. 186.
