FLASH MODE
The Leica M-A does not have its own flash metering and control
function. As a result, flash exposures must either be controlled by
an attached flash unit itself (computer control) or – using guide
number calculations – the aperture must be reset for each picture
according to the distance between the subject and the camera.
The fastest possible shutter speed for pictures using flash units,
the sync speed of
1
/
50
s, is indicated by on the shutter speed
dial. For special effects, all slower shutter speeds including the
B
setting can also be used.
Important:
Flash units connected using the accessory shoe can still be fired
mechanically when the shutter is moving by pressing the shutter
release.
COMPATIBLE FLASH UNITS
With its compact dimensions and design tailored to this camera,
the Leica SF26 is particularly well suited. Thanks to its computer-
controlled automatic flash exposure, it is very easy to operate and
furthermore offers a range of interesting additional functions.
Other commercially available flash attachments with standard flash
foot and positive center contact, and fired by the center contact
can also be used.
We recommend the use of modern thyristor-controlled electronic
flash units.
Important:
When attaching a flash unit to the Leica M-A’s flash shoe, you
should ensure that the foot of the flash unit is fully inserted and – if
present – prevented from accidentally falling out using the
tightening nut. This is important because changes in position in the
flash show can break the required contact, which means that the
attached flash unit would not be fired.
