Shutter-Priority Mode - S; Manual Exposure Setting - M - Leica SL3 Instruction Manual

SHUTTER-PRIORITY MODE – S
Shutter-priority mode will set exposure automatically according
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 composition element.
An appropriately fast shutter speed can help to avoid e.g. unwanted
motion blurring and will "freeze" the object. Conversely, an appro-
priately longer shutter speed can help create a better feeling of
motion in the image with targeted "tracer effects".

MANUAL EXPOSURE SETTING – M
The following manual settings for shutter speed and aperture are a
good choice:
– to create a special image mood that can only be achieved with a
very specific type of exposure
– to ensure a perfectly identical exposure for multiple images with
different cropped sections
