Aperture Priority Mode - A - Leica CL Instruction Manual

EN HDR
With a picture is created where, due to the 'overlaying' of three
HDR
different exposures (-2 EV / 0 EV / +2 EV), light and dark parts of
the subject are reproduced better at the same time, i.e. with less
overexposure in the highlights and more definition in the darkest
areas.
Due to the consecutive exposures, this operating mode is particu-
larly suited for subjects that do not or rarely move, e.g. landscapes.
Therefore, and due to the longer shutter speeds especially in low-
light conditions, e.g. in the case of recordings in the evening or at
night, using a tripod is recommended.

Aperture priority mode -
A
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 ele-
ment.
By selecting an appropriately low aperture value, you can reduce
the depth of field range, for example in a portrait to "release" the
face, which is in focus, from an unimportant or distracting back-
ground. Conversely you can use a higher aperture value to increase
the depth of field range, so that everything from the foreground to
the background will be sharp in a landscape shot.
Taking a picture
Select the required aperture value with the right setting wheel
Press the shutter button to the 1st pressure point
Both the set aperture value and the automatically calculated
shutter speed are displayed in white. If even the fastest or slowest
shutter speed combined with the set aperture will result in under or
overexposure, both values are displayed in red.
If the automatically set shutter speed appears appropriate for the
intended composition:
