Flash Exposure Metering ( Ttl Metering); Hss (High Speed Sync.); Settings On The Flash Unit - Leica Q2 MONOCHROM Instruction Manual

FLASH EXPOSURE METERING (
The camera offers a fully automated, camera-controlled flash mode
in conjunction with system-compatible flash units (see p. 98)
and for the auto modes aperture priority and manual setting.
In aperture priority mode and with manual setting, the camera
furthermore allows the use of other interesting flash techniques
like flash synchronization and firing with slower shutter speeds than
the max. sync time.
The camera additionally communicates the sensitivity setting to the
flash unit. The flash unit can use this information to automatically
adjust its range data, provided the device comes with these
displays and the aperture setting selected on the lens is also
entered manually on the flash unit. The ISO sensitivity setting
cannot be altered via the flash unit on system-compatible units,
because the information is received from the camera.

HSS (HIGH SPEED SYNC.)

Automatic flash activation at fast shutter speeds
A fully automated, camera-controlled HSS flash mode for all
shutter speeds and all exposure modes is available in the Leica Q2
Monochrom for use with system-compatible flash units (see
p. 98). 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 flashes is significantly smaller than for TTL
flashes.
