ISO sensitivity
The ISO setting on the Leica S allows the shutter speed/aperture value
to be adjusted to meet the requirements of the relevant situation, in six
steps.
As well as the fixed settings, the Leica S also features the Auto1 function,
in which the camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity to the ambient
brightness.
However, when using the function it is also possible to specify priorities,
for example for compositional reasons. This enables you to limit the
range of sensitivities used and also to set the shutter speed above which
the automatic increase in sensitivity is activated.
Notes:
In digital photography, the higher sensitivities generally result in an
increase in noise. This must be taken into account when thinking about
picture quality.
For series exposures (see p. 36), bear in mind that the frame rates will
be slightly slower with higher sensitivities.
1 The function is not available when using flash units.
Setting the function
1. In the IMAGE menu (see p. 16/26), select ISO (5.9), and
2. call up the submenu. It contains the available ISO values and the Auto
option.
To set the sensitivity manually
3. Select the desired value.
To set the sensitivity automatically
4. Select Auto.
A further submenu appears, containing three options OK, Set Maxi-
mum ISO and Set Maximum Exposure Time.
To use unrestricted automatic setting
5. Select OK in this submenu.
The automatic setting uses all sensitivities, as well as shutter speeds
between 1/2 s and 1/500s.
To restrict the automatic setting range
6. Select Set Maximum ISO and/or Set Maximum Exposure Time in this sub-
menu.
For Set Maximum ISO a list of the available values appears, and for Set
Maximum Exposure Time a further submenu appears containing the
alternatives 1/f and Manual Setting.
7. In the Set Maximum ISO list, select the highest sensitivity to be used and
thus the range in which the automatic setting will operate, or
8. in the Set Maximum Exposure Time submenu, select either 1/f, if you
want to leave it up to the camera to ensure that shutter speeds that
prevent blurring are used, or Manual Setting.
For, 1/f the camera only switches to a higher sensitivity if the shutter
speed would fall below the 1/f threshold due to a lack of brightness,
e.g. at slower speeds than 1/60 s with a 70mm lens.
9. In the Manual Setting list, select the slowest shutter speed you want to
use (1/2s - 1/500s; in whole steps).
