Automatic program tendencies at different
shutter speed setting
The LEICA R7's variable automatic program
mode can be influenced by presetting the
exposure time. If
predominantly with shorter exposure times
(higher shutter speeds), a higher shutter speed
setting can be set - e.g. for sports photography; if
depth of field is more important (e.g. for
landscapes), a longer shutter speed should be set.
Generally, the automatic program functions as
follows:
Beginning with a low-light situation, only the
shutter speed is reduced automatically on a
you want to work
continuous scale, with increasing brightness,
until this set value is reached, whereas the lens
remains at full aperture. From this preselected
shutter speed setting onwards, the automatic
program reduces shutter speed and aperture
simultaneously.
If the automatic program mode shuts the lens to
smallest aperture, only the shutter speed is
increased with increasing brightness, up to
1/2000 s. However, if 1/2000 s is computed
before the smallest aperture is reached, the
program closes only the aperture at 1/2000 s.
