Exposure Bracketing - Leica SL2 Instruction Manual

Notes
• The use of autofocus in interval shooting may result in not all
exposures having their focus on the same object.
• Interval shooting over an extended period of time in a cold
location or in a place with high temperature and humidity may
result in malfunctions.
• Interval shooting will be interrupted or canceled in the following
situations:
– if the battery is depleted
– if the camera is switched off
Make sure to check the battery for suffi cient charge. A warning
will be displayed when the battery reaches a critically low level.
• Interrupted or canceled interval shooting an be resumed by
switching the camera off , replacing the battery or memory card
as needed and then switching the camera back on. A prompt will
be displayed on screen if the camera is switched off and on
again while the
Interval Shooting Interval Shooting
• The interval function remains active after a picture series is
completed, and also after the camera is switched off and on
again, until another exposure mode (picture series) is set.
• The availability of this function does not mean that the camera is
suitable for use as a monitoring device.
• Regardless of how many pictures were taken in a series, the last
picture in the series or the last picture in the series or the last
picture saved on the memory card while the saving process is
ongoing will be displayed fi rst in both review modes.
• The camera may under some circumstances be unable to take
good pictures. That may happen if, for example, focusing was
unsuccessful. In that case, the camera will not take a picture
and the series will continue with the next interval. The message
appears on screen.

EXPOSURE BRACKETING

Many attractive objects are rich in contrast, which means they
have very bright and very dark areas. The image eff ect can be
dramatically diff erent, depending on which of these areas you
choose to align your exposure with. The automatic bracketing
function in aperture priority mode allows you to produce several
alternatives with graduated exposure values and varying shutter
speeds. You can then select the picture you like best or use
relevant picture editing software to calculate an image with a
particularly broad contrast spectrum (HDR).
