ATTACHING THE FLASH UNIT
When attaching a flash unit, you should ensure that the
foot is securely fitted in the flash shoe (1.20) on the
Leica M Monochrom and the clamping nut (if fitted)
is tightened to prevent it accidentally falling out. This
is particularly important for flash units with additional
control and signal contacts, because if the flash moves
from its position in the flash shoe the required contacts
can be broken, leading to malfunctions.
Note:
Before attaching the flash, the camera and the flash
unit must be turned off.
FLASH MODE
Fully automatic camera-controlled flash operation
is available on the Leica M Monochrom when using
system-compatible flash units as described in the
previous section, in both exposure modes – aperture
priority mode
A
and manual setting.
In addition, automatic illumination control is operational
in all three exposure modes. This means that in order
to ensure a balanced relationship between flash and
available light at all times, the flash power is reduced
by up to 1
2
/
3
EV as ambient brightness increases.
However, if the ambient brightness plus even the
shortest possible flash sync time of
1
/
180
s would cause
overexposure, the flash will not be fired in aperture
priority mode. In such cases the shutter speed is
governed by the ambient brightness and is shown in the
viewfinder.
In aperture priority mode
A
and with manual setting,
the Leica M Monochrom also allows the use of creative
flash techniques such as synchronization of flash firing
with the 2nd shutter curtain rather than the 1st, as is
usual, and flash with slower shutter speeds than the
sync speed of
1
/
180
s. These functions are set on the
camera using the menu (for more details, refer to the
relevant sections below).
In addition the Leica M Monochrom transfers the
set sensitivity to the flash unit. Provided it has these
displays and the aperture manually set on the lens
is also entered on the flash unit, this enables the
flash unit to automatically adjust its range values
accordingly. The sensitivity setting cannot be changed
from the flash unit.
