Close-up pictures can be taken with the camera held in the hand or
mounted on a tripod, the image being focused automatically with the
coupled range-finder. As the depth of field is greatly reduced at such
close distances, the lens should be stopped down to at least f/8 or
f/11.

Pull down the self-timer lever. The LEICA shutter can already be tensioned,
otherwise tension it now. To make the exposure, however, do not press the
release button, but the small button above the self-timer lever. You will then
hear the delayed action mechanism running down while the self-timer lever
slowly swings up again, releasing the shutter just before the lever reaches its
original position. If you watch the lever as it 'returns, you can not only hear the
moment of the exposure, but also see it; this occurs when the lever points
obliquely up to the left.
The delayed action release works with all shutter speeds from 1 to 1/1000
second. With the self-timer lever fully pulled down, the delay is about 10
seconds; halfway down it is 5 seconds. Intermediate positions give
intermediate delay times. You therefore have plenty of time to get into the
picture yourself. The self-timer is also valuable for releasing very long tripod-
mounted exposures.
