Automatic Exposure Bracketing - Leica X1 Instructions Manual

Notes:
• An exposure compensation cannot be set when using manual exposure
mode (see p. 105)
• The EV /direction button is also used to call up the menus for exposure
bracketing (see next section) and flash exposure compensation (see p.
111). They scroll through in an endless loop and can therefore be se-
lected by repeatedly pressing the button.
• A set compensation remains active until it is switched to ±0 (see step
2.), i.e. after any number of shots and even if the camera is switched off.

Automatic exposure bracketing

Many attractive subjects are very rich in contrast, i.e. they have both very
bright and very dark areas. The resulting effect can be quite different, de-
pending on which sections you base your exposure on. In such cases, you
can use automatic exposure bracketing to produce a series of three shots
with graduated exposures. You can then select the most appropriate pic-
ture for further use.
1. To set a bracketing series, press the upper
twice.
• The corresponding sub-menu appears.
2. Select the desired interval with the left and right direction buttons
(1.25/1.22). Values from +3 to –3 EV with
able.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing either the shutter release button (1.8)
or the MENU / SET button (1.23).
• The bracketing symbol (2.1.23) appears.
Notes:
• Depending on the available shutter speed/aperture combination, the
working range of the automatic exposure bracketing can be limited.
• The EV /direction button is also used to call up the menus for exposure
compensation (see previous section) and flash exposure compensation
(see p. 111). They scroll through in an endless loop and can therefore be
selected by repeatedly pressing the button.
• A set bracketing series remains active until it is switched to ±0 (see step
2.), i.e. after any number of series and even if the camera is switched
off.
