The Leica M Monochrom shutter speed setting dial is
used to select the three exposure control modes,
– Aperture priority mode by selecting the
A position, marked in red (see p. 124)
– Manual mode by selecting a shutter speed of between
1
/
4000
s and 8s, (intermediate values in
1
/
2
step graduations are also available, see p. 128)
as are
– the shortest possible sync speed for flash mode -
marked with the
symbol - of
1
/
180
s (see p. 130),
and
–
B
for long exposures (see p. 128).
The Leica M Monochrom shutter speed setting dial has
no stop, i.e. it can be turned in either direction from
any position. It detents at all marked positions and at
the intermediate values. Values between the detent
positions cannot be used.
Notes:
• As described in connection with the ISO settings
on p. 116, when using higher sensitivities and
in particular with dark, even surfaces, a certain
amount of noise will become apparent. To reduce
this annoying phenomenon, after pictures with slow
shutter speeds the Leica M Monochrom automatically
takes a second “black picture” (taken with the shutter
closed). The noise present in this parallel picture is
then digitally “subtracted” from the data set for the
real picture.
• This doubling of the “exposure” time can be
significant at longer exposure times, and must be
allowed for. During this time the camera should not
be turned off.
• At shutter speeds of more than 2s, the
Noise
reduction 12s
1
message appears in the monitor.
• If the
B function is used in conjunction with the
self-timer (see p. 147), 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. 123.
