SELECTING THE SYNC SPEED / THE SYNC SPEED RANGE
The Leica S allows you to combine flash operation with the shutter speed
used in the automatic program and aperture priority exposure modes to
subtly adjust the lighting conditions for the relevant subject or to suit your
picture composition ideas. You can choose between one automatic and
several manual settings.
Setting the function
5. In the
CAMERA menu (see p. 16/26), select Auto Slow Synch.. (5.6), and
6. then the automatic lens-specific setting -
1/f - or whether you want to
determine a particular shutter speed yourself -
Manual Setting - in the
submenu.
7. In the
Manual Setting submenu, set the range of shutter speeds permit-
ted by determining the fastest speed permitted.
Notes:
1/f results in the slowest possible shutter speeds based on the rule of
thumb for blur-free pictures taken from the hand, e.g.
1
/
60
s with the
Summarit-S 70mm f/2.5 ASPH. However, in the
Manual Setting menu it
is limited to
1
/
125
s even if the focal length used is longer.
The setting eld in the
Manual Setting submenu initially contains the
"default setting" of
1/f.
SELECTING THE FIRING MOMENT
The Leica S allows you to choose between a flash firing moment at the
beginning or the end of the exposure.
The function is available with all flash units, including non-system compati-
ble units, regardless of whether they are mounted in the flash shoe or con-
nected by a cable, and with all camera and flash unit settings. The displays
are identical in both cases.
Setting the function
1. In the
CAMERA menu (see p. 16/26), select Flash Synch Mode (5.7), and
2. then the desired option, in the associated submenu.
ATTACHING THE FLASH UNIT
When attaching a flash unit to the Leica S flash shoe (1.14), you should
ensure that the foot of the flash unit is fully inserted and the clamping nut (if
available) is tightened to prevent it accidentally falling out. This is particularly
important for flash units with additional control and signal contacts, because
if the position in the flash shoe changes the necessary contacts can be inter-
rupted, leading to malfunctions.
Note:
Before attaching the flash, the camera and the flash unit must be turned off.
