Shutter Speed Priority - S - Leica Q2 MONOCHROM Instruction Manual

Notes
• The remaining exposure time after shutter release is counted
down in seconds on the display for shutter speeds greater than
2 s.
• Image noise becomes apparent when using higher sensitivities,
particularly on uniform dark areas. Long exposure times may
cause severe image noise. In order to reduce this annoying
phenomenon, the camera will take a second "black picture"
(taken with the shutter closed) automatically after pictures taken
with slow shutter speeds and high ISO values. The noise metered
in this parallel picture is then digitally "subtracted" from the data
for the actual picture. In such cases the message
will appear with a relevant time value.

The doubling of the "exposure" time must be taken into account
for long-term exposure times. The camera must not be switched
off during that time.
SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY – S
Shutter speed priority mode will set exposure automatically accord-
ing to the manually selected shutter speed. It is therefore
particularly suitable for pictures of moving objects, where the
sharpness of the movement depicted is a critical picture composi-
tion element.
An appropriately fast shutter speed can help to avoid e.g.
unwanted motion blurring and will "freeze" the object. Conversely,
an appropriately longer shutter speed can help create a better
feeling of motion in the image with targeted "tracer effects".
