RECORDING MODE
SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON
The Leica S has a three-stage shutter release button (1.1):
1. Briefly tapping it activates the distance and exposure metering sys-
tems, as well as the displays in the viewfinder and on the top panel.
Holding the shutter release button at this pressure point keeps the
metering systems and displays active.
When the shutter release button is released, the metering systems and
displays remain active for around 12s.
Notes:
• If review mode was previously set (see p. 56), tapping the shutter
release button switches the camera back to recording mode, and if it
was previously in standby mode (see p. 30), it is reactivated, i.e. meter-
ing systems and displays are turned on.
• The shutter release button is locked
- if the internal buffer memory is temporarily full, e.g. after a series of
pictures (also applies if no memory card is inserted), or
- if the memory card(s) inserted is/are full.
2. Pressing the shutter release button to the pressure point and holding it
in this position stores the metered exposure value for spot and center-
weighted metering in , and modes (see p. 44/45). When using
autofocus in AFs - Sharpness priority - mode (see p. 37) the focus set-
ting is saved at the same time. Letting go of the shutter release button
enables new measurements to be carried out.
Note:
You can also use the menu to set the joystick (1.17) to store the metered
exposure value and/or the automatic focus setting (see p. 39).
3. Pressing further releases the shutter or starts any preselected self
timer delay time (see p. 46).
Series exposures
You can not only use the Leica S to take single pictures but also to pro-
duce a series of pictures.
Setting and using the function
1. In the CAMERA menu (see p. 10/26), select Drive Mode (5.1), and
2. then Continuous in the submenu.
3. The subsequent function is then determined by how you operate the
shutter release button:
- A series of pictures is taken for as long as you hold the shutter release
button all the way down (and the capacity of the buffer memory or the
memory card(s) is sufficient).
- If you press the shutter release button briefly, the camera continues to
take single pictures.
Notes:
• The camera's buffer memory only allows a limited number of pictures to
be taken in a series (see p. 73). When you press the shutter release but-
ton to the pressure point or during a series of pictures, the display in the
viewfinder (2.10a) indicates how many (more) pictures are possible in a
series.
• Regardless of how many pictures have been taken in a series, both
review modes (see p. 56) initially show the last picture in the series or
the last picture in the series saved on the currently active card (see p.
60), if not all of the pictures in the series have been transferred from the
internal buffer memory to the relevant card yet.
Details of how to select the other pictures in the series and further
options in the review modes are described in the corresponding sec-
tions starting on p. 56.
