All electronic flash units and most types of flash bulbs are easily synchronized with the LEICA M 3.
The left-hand socket marked
is intended for electronic-flash and type F flash bulbs. With electronic-
flash you can set any shutter speed between 1 second and the red
arrow which stands for
1
/
50
second. The effective exposure time is governed by the flash-duration of the electronic-flash. (Usually
about
1
/
1000
sec.)
The right-hand socket is used for synchronizing class M flash bulbs. The use of focal plane type flash
bulbs is recommended because these permit utilization of all shutter speeds up to
1
/
1000
sec.
Furthermore, both electronic-flash units and flash bulbs can be connected to the M 3 at the same time,
since two circuits function independently from one another.
Protective plugs are available to cover the two flash sockets on the back of the camera. A helpful hint:
only leave the socket in use uncovered at any time. Connection to the wrong flash socket is a frequent
cause of failures in flash pictures.

Details about flash bulbs, guide-numbers and suitable shutter speeds are given on the enclosed flash
table for the LEICA M 3.
Note; guide-numbers are only intended as approximate guides. They are based on the use of a fairly flat, matted
reflector and are valid only for subjects of average reflectivity with allowance for some light being reflected from
indoor walls and ceilings.
