lens reflex camera with electronic multi-blade focal
plane shutter and multi-mode automatic functions.
Lens mount: LEICA R-Bayonet.
Lenses: more than thirty LEICA R-Lenses with focal
lengths from 15mm to 800mm.
Switching on the camera: Turn shutter speed dial
from "OFF" position and either slightly press shutter
release button or mode selector button. With shutter
cocked, the viewfinder LED's remain lit for about 12s
after you release whatever button had been pressed to

Exposure meter works at full aperture with LEICA
R-Lenses with automatic spring-back diaphragm, and
at working aperture with lenses and accessories without
automatic diaphragm.
Selective exposure metering: Measuring field 7mm
diameter (approx. 4.5 % of 35 mm format), marked in
viewfinder.
Integral exposure metering: center-weighted full-
field integral metering.
Program modes: set via program selector:
