Canceling the function
A self-timer delay time in progress can be canceled
- by turning off the camera, i.e. by turning the main switch (1.15) to the
OFF position,
- during the first 10s of a 12s self-timer delay time by pressing the button
(1.22) - in this case labeled ABORT.
If you no longer want to use the self-timer, it must be deactivated in the
menu. The function is also deactivated by turning off the camera.
Note:
If the self-timer function is set and mirror pre-release is activated at the
same time (see next section), the shutter is released after the selected
delay time, i.e. without the need to press the shutter release button
again.
MIRROR PRE-RELEASE
To eliminate the remaining minimal effects of mirror movement and clos-
ing of the lens aperture, the Leica S includes the option of using mirror
pre-release.
Setting / using the function
1. In the CAMERA menu (see p. 16/26), select Mirror Up Mode (5.8), and
2. then On or Off in the submenu.
3. Press the shutter release button all the way down, i.e. to the third
pressure point (see also "Shutter release button", p. 36) to flip up the
mirror.
4. Press the shutter release button all the way down again to take the
picture.
Process
The first time the shutter release button is pressed, exposure metering
and - in autofocus mode - focusing are first carried out, then the mirror
flips up and the aperture closes to the appropriate value.
The shutter is not released and thus the actual picture is not taken until
the shutter release button is pressed again.
After the exposure, the mirror moves back down into place and the aper-
ture opens again in the normal way.
Canceling the function
The mirror pre-release process can be canceled without taking a picture
after pressing the shutter release button for the first time.
This is done by turning off the camera at the main switch, i.e. turning the
main switch (1.15) to the OFF position - the mirror then flips back down
again.
If mirror pre-release is set, the function remains active even after turning
the camera off and back on, i.e. if you want to take the next picture with-
out mirror pre-release, the function must be set to Off in the menu.
Notes:
The picture must be taken within 2 min of pressing the shutter release
button for the first time. If not, the mirror flips back down automatically
to preserve the battery capacity (without the shutter being released).
While the mirror is flipped up, the 2 min delay time can be restarted at
any time by tapping the shutter release button.
If the self-timer function is set and mirror pre-release is activated at
the same time (see previous section), the shutter is released after the
selected delay time, i.e. without the need to press the shutter release
button again.
DEPTH OF FIELD PREVIEW BUTTON AND DEPTH OF FIELD
On the Leica S, you can close the open lens aperture for every exposure
mode to the set or automatically determined aperture value. This is done
using the depth of field preview button (1.4).
The correct values remain displayed in the monitor and the top panel
display. However, the exposure meter is turned off.
Prerequisites for stopping down:
1. The exposure meter has been turned on with the shutter release but-
ton (see p. 36), and
2. the shutter release button is not (no longer) being pressed.
The shutter release button is locked when the depth of field preview but-
ton is pressed.
