USING EXTERNAL FLASH UNITS
The ISO flash / hot shoe on the Leica X enables you to use more
powerful external flash units. We particularly recommend the Leica
SF 26 (see p. 167).
Attaching the flash unit:
1. Turn off the camera and flash unit
2. Remove the cover that protects the hot shoe and the socket
when not in use to the rear
3. When attaching, make sure that the flash unit's foot is pushed all
the way into the hot shoe and, if fitted, that it is secured against
accidentally coming off using the clamping nut
This is important as changes of position in the flash shoe breaks
the required contacts and may cause malfunctions.

When the flash unit is removed the camera is reset to the previously
set mode.
Notes:
• To use external flash units, the built-in flash unit must be retracted.
• If an external flash unit is attached, it must also be turned on, i.e.
ready to use, otherwise there may be incorrect exposures and
error messages on the camera.
• Simultaneous use of an external electronic viewfinder is not
possible.
