EXPOSURE CONTROL
SETTING THE SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE /
SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE
On the Leica S, the settings for
- both the shutter speed and aperture values are made using a manual
preselection,
- or the values in the 3 automatic exposure modes
using only 2 controls, the shutter speed setting dial (1.11) and the click
wheel (1.18).
The relevant settings and the selected modes are displayed in the view-
finder (1.16/2), in the top panel display (1.12/3) and in the monitor
(1.23/4), in the picture data display (4.1) and the INFO display (4.5) (see
also the corresponding explanations and information on p. 10 and 11).
THE SHUTTER SPEED DIAL (1.11)
This dial is used to manually set the shutter speed in (manual shutter
speed and aperture setting) and (shutter speed priority) modes.
The following speed ranges are available depending on the shutter used:
- with the camera's focal plane shutter main switch (1.15) set to FPS
(see p. 25) - from 6s to 1/4000s
- with the integral central shutter on some Leica S lenses main switch
(1.10) set to CS (see p. 25) from 6s to 1/1000s. However, if slower shut-
ter speeds than 8s (using menu, see p. 46) or faster shutter speeds are
set, the camera automatically switches to the focal plane shutter.
- In both cases, half steps can also be set.
Note:
The slowest shutter speed that can be set manually (in and ) is 6s. On
the setting dial, this corresponds to the position between the last
engraved shutter speed of 4s and (for the flash sync speed).
For automatic and continuous control of the shutter speed by the camera
- in (Automatic program) and (Aperture priority) modes the Auto
position must be set.
Long-time exposures up to a maximum of 125s are made using the B
position.
When using non system-compatible flash units and the camera´s internal
focal plane shutter, the setting for the fastest flash sync speed (1/125s =
) is recommended.
CLICK WHEEL (1.18)
Turning the click wheel manually adjusts the aperture in and
modes. Half steps are also available.
Pressing the click wheel switches between manual aperture setting and
automatic control by the camera - in and modes.
The table illustrates the functional relationships of the two controls.
