EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT
The viewfi nder (1.17) can by adjusted from -3 to +1 diopters, so that it is
exactly set to match your eye. While looking at the viewfi nder image, turn
the serrated dial (1.13) until the markings for the selective metering eld
are sharp.
Note:
If you are not looking through the viewfi nder, e.g. for pictures on a tripod,
we recommend attaching the eyepiece cover (G). This prevents any
unwanted infl uences on the exposure metering. The cover can be stored
on the carrying strap.
TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF
The Leica S is turned on and off using the main switch (1.15), which
engages in three positions:
a. OFF Camera turned off
b. FPS Camera turned on, focal plane shutter in
body in operation
- The shutter speed is controlled using the focal plane shutter in the cam-
era. All speeds are available (see also "Shutter speed dial", p. 42).
c. CS Camera turned on, central shutter in
lens in operation
- The shutter speed is controlled using the central shutter in the lens.
Speeds of between 8-1
/
1000 s are available (see also "Shutter speed
dial", p. 42).
Note:
The camera also works when set to CS with the focal plane shutter, if
- a lens with no central shutter is attached, or faster shutter speeds
than 8s, and/or
- slower shutter speeds than 1/1000 s are set.
After turning on, i.e. selecting either the FPS or CS function, the LED
(1.20) lights up until the camera is ready (2s) and the displays in the
viewfi nder (1.16/2) and in the top panel display (1.12/3) appear (see
p. 10/11).
Notes:
Even if the main switch is not set to OFF, the camera is automatically
turned off if an automatic power off time has been set in the menu (Auto
Power Off, (5.28), see p. 26/30) and none of the functions are used
during this time.
Turning off the camera not only cancels functions currently running,
i.e. bracketing series (see p. 40) and self timer mode (see p. 46), it also
deactivates them in the relevant menus.
