The Leica SL3 comes equipped with a mechanical shutter and a
purely electronic shutter function. The electronic shutter expands
the available shutter area and functions completely noiseless,
which may be important in some work environments.

USE
The classic shutter sound of the mechanical shutter conveys an
auditive feedback. It is well suited for long-term exposures, as well
as for shots of moving objects.
The electronic shutter function allows photography with an open ap-
erture in very bright due to very fast shutter speeds. The distinctive
"rolling shutter" effect makes it less suitable for moving objects.
Notes
• The electronic shutter function does not allow flash photography.
• The electronic shutter function in combination with fast shutter
speeds can result in stripe effects on the images when used with
LED or fluorescent tube lighting.
