Flash Modes - Leica M10-D Instruction Manual

FLASH MODES

▸ Switch on the flash unit
▸ Set the desired guide number control mode (e.g. TTL or GNC =
Guide Number Control) on the flash unit
▸ Switching the camera on
▸ Tap the shutter button before each flash exposure to activate
exposure metering
• The flash unit may not fire if this step is missed by pressing
the shutter button down completely and skipping these
settings.
▸ Set the desired exposure mode, shutter speed and/or aperture
setting
Take note of the shortest flash sync speed, as it determines
whether a "normal" flash or an HSS flash is fired.
HSS (HIGH SPEED SYNC.)
AUTOMATIC FLASH ACTIVATION FOR FAST SHUTTER SPEEDS
A fully automated, camera-controlled HSS flash mode for all
shutter speeds and all exposure modes is available in the Leica
M10-D for use with system-compatible flash units (see p. <?>). It
is activated by the camera automatically if the selected or
calculated shutter speed is faster than the sync speed (1⁄180 s).
Note
The range for HSS flash mode is significantly lower than for TTL.
