Aperture Priority; Shutter Speed Priority - Leica X-U 113 Instructions Manual

APERTURE PRIORITY - A
EN
Aperture priority mode sets the exposure automatically according to
the manually selected aperture. It is particularly suitable for pictures
where the depth of field is a critical compositional element.
With a correspondingly low aperture value, you can reduce the depth
of field range, for example to let a face 'stand out' from an unimport-
ant or distracting background in a portrait or, conversely, you can use
a correspondingly higher aperture value to increase the depth of field
range so that everything from the foreground to the background is in
focus in a landscape shot.
Taking the Picture
1. Turn the aperture setting dial to the
• The set aperture value is displayed in white.
2. Set the desired aperture value with the corresponding dial
3. Press the shutter button to the pressure point
• The automatically calculated shutter speed is displayed in white. If
even the slowest or fastest shutter speed combined with the set
aperture value results in under or over exposure, both values will
be displayed in red.
If the automatically set shutter speed seems appropriate for the
intended composition:
4. Press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture

SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY - T
Shutter speed priority mode sets the exposure automatically
according to the manually selected shutter speed. It is therefore
particularly suitable for pictures of moving subjects, where the
sharpness of the movement depicted is a critical compositional
element.
An appropriately fast shutter speed will avoid undesirable blurring of
the movement, i.e. "freeze" your subject or you can use a slower
shutter speed to express the dynamic nature of the movement with a
deliberate "blur effect".

3. Press the shutter button to the pressure point
• The automatically calculated aperture value is displayed in

with the set shutter speed results in under or overexposure,
both values are displayed in red.
