Leica M 240 Instructions Manual page 39

MANUAL LENS TYPE / FOCAL LENGTH ENTRY
The camera is unable to recognize previous Leica M lenses as they
have no identification. However, this "identification" can be carried
out in the menu.
The same applies to Leica R lenses, which can be used on the
camera with a Leica R adapter M (for further details, refer to the
adapter manual).
3. Select the lens you are using from the list in the
sub-menu.
• The monitor shows a list of lenses, which also includes the
relevant item numbers to ensure clear identification. The
camera detects whether an M lens is attached, or a Leica R
lens using the adapter. The list contains either only M or
only R lenses accordingly.
Notes:
• On many lenses, the item number is engraved on the reverse
side of the depth of field scale.
• The list contains lenses that were available without coding (prior
to around June 2006). Lenses introduced more recently are only
available with coding and therefore cannot be selected manually.
• When using the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH, the
set focal length is not transferred to the camera and thus is not
included in the EXIF data for pictures. If required, you can enter
Manual
the relevant focal length manually.
• By contrast, the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 1:4/28-35-50mm ASPH
features mechanical transfer of the set focal length to the
camera, necessary to display the appropriate bright line frame in
the viewfinder. It is detected by the camera electronics and used
for focal length specific compensation. However, only one item
number - 11 625 - is listed in the menu for reasons of space. Of
course, the other two versions - 11 890 and 11 894 - can be
used and the settings made in the menu also apply to them.
