Flash Range; Flash Exposure Compensation - Leica M11 Instruction Manual

FLASH RANGE

The usable flash range depends on the aperture and sensitivity val-
ues set manually or calculated by the camera. It is important to en-
sure that the subject is within the relevant flash range for sufficient
illumination. A permanent setting to the shortest available shutter
speed for flash mode (sync time) may often result in unnecessary
underexposure of those subject elements that are not lit sufficiently
by the flash.
This camera allows the fine tuning of the shutter speed used in flash
mode in combination with aperture priority depending on the condi-
tions of the object or your own pictorial composition ideas.
