Eyepiece adjustment
The eyepiece (1.16) can therefore be adjusted by ± 2 diopters, so
that it is exactly set to match your eye. While looking at the view -
finder image, turn the knurled setting ring (1.16a) until the markings
for the spot-metering field are sharp.
Note:
If you are not looking through the viewfinder, e.g. for pictures on
a tripod, we recommend attaching the eyepiece cover (G). This
prevents any unwanted influences on the exposure metering.
The cover can be stored on the carrying strap for easy access.
Turning the camera on and off
The LEICA S2 is turned on and off using the main switch (1.15).
This takes the form of a lever with three indented positions:
a. OFF– Camera turned off
b. FPS– Camera turned on, focal plane shutter in body
activated
The shutter speed is controlled manually or automatically using
the focal plane shutter in the camera. All speeds are available
(see also „Shutter speed dial“, p. 37).
c. CS – Camera turned on, central shutter in lens is
activated
The shutter speed is controlled manually or automatically using
the central shutter in the lens. Speeds of between 8 -
1
/
500
s are
available (see also „Shutter speed dial“, p. 37).
Note:
If a lens with no central shutter is attached, the camera oper -
ates with the focal plane shutter even when set to CS.
After turning on, i.e. selecting either the FPS or CS function,
the LED (1.19) lights up until the camera is ready (2 s) and the
displays in the viewfinder (1.16/2) and in the top panel display
(1.11/3) appear (see p. 9/10).
Notes:
• Even if the main switch is not set to OFF , the camera is auto-
matically turned off if automatic power off has been set in the
menu (Auto Power Off, 5.26, see p. 22/26), and none of the
functions are used during this time.
• Turning off the camera not only cancels functions currently
running, i.e. bracketing (see p. 35) and self-timer mode
(see p. 40), it also deactivates them in the menu.
