SHUTTER SPEED SETTING DIAL
The size and position of the shutter speed setting dial
(1.16) on the Leica M-E is ergonomically optimized:
On the one hand – even with the camera to the eye
– it is very easy to use. On the other hand it is well
protected against inadvertent movement.
In addition, its direction of rotation (and also that of
the aperture setting ring on the lens) matches that
of the exposure meter in the viewfinder for manual
adjustment (2.1.3): If for example the left-hand tri-
angular LED lights up, rotation in the direction of the
arrow, i.e. to the right, leads to the required longer
shutter speed.
The Leica M-E shutter speed setting dial is used to
select two of the three exposure modes,
– Aperture priority mode by setting the
A
position,
marked in red (see p. 136),
– Manual mode by selecting one of the shutter speeds
of
1
/
4000
s to 8s, (intermediate values in
1
/
2
step
intervals are also available, see p. 140)
and
– the fastest possible sync speed of
1
/
180
s for flash
mode, indicated by the symbol (see p. 144), and
–
B
for long exposures (see p. 140).
The Leica M-E shutter speed setting dial has no
stop, i.e. it can be turned in either direction from any
position. It has detents at all marked positions and at
the intermediate values. Values between the detents
cannot be used.
Notes:
• As described in connection with the ISO settings
on p. 128, when using higher sensitivities and par
-
ticularly with dark, even surfaces, a certain amount
of noise will be noticeable. To reduce this annoying
phenomenon, after pictures with longer exposures
the Leica M-E automatically takes a second “black
picture” (taken with the shutter closed). The noise
measured in this parallel picture is then digitally
“subtracted” from the data set for the real picture.
• This doubling of the “exposure” time must be
al lowed for with long exposures. The camera should
not be switched off during this time.
• For shutter speeds slower than 2s, the message
Noise reduction in progress 12s
1
appears in the
monitor.
• If the
B
function is selected in conjunction with the
self timer (see p. 157), there is no need to keep
the shutter release button pressed; the shutter
will remain open until the shutter release button is
pressed a second time (this is then equivalent to
the T function).
More details on setting the correct exposure can be
found in the sections under: “Exposure metering”
from p. 135.
