Using Flash
All electronic flash units and most types of flash bulbs
can by synchronized with the LEICA M 2. "Synchroni-
zation" means that the flash lights up at the exact in-
stant when the shutter opens. A flash gun bracket can
be attached to the base plate of the LEICA. (Catalog
No. 15 545 K).
Two flash outlets at the back of the LEICA accept flash
cables.
The left-hand outlet, marked by a symbol of a light-
ning flash is intended for electronic flash units. With
electronic flash you set any shutter speed between 1
1
second and the red arrow which stands for
/
se-
50
cond.* The effective exposure time is, of course,
governed by the flash duration of the electronic tube,
and the exposure is controlled by adjustment of the
lens aperture.
*) This is the best all-around setting.
